Plant Growth And Its Phases

Growth is the most fundamental characteristic of any living organism. It is defined as “an irreversible, permanent increase in the size of an organ or its parts, or even of an individual cell”. Generally, growth is accompanied by metabolic processes (catabolic and anabolic) that spend energy.

Characteristics Of Plant GrowthPlant Growth Is Indeterminate

Plants have the unique ability to grow indefinitely throughout their life due to the presence of ‘meristems’ in their body. Meristems have cells that can divide and self-propagate. This is called ‘open form of growth’ because new cells are constantly added to the plant body by the cells in the meristem.

Meristems in the roots and shoots of plants are responsible for ‘primary growth of the plant’. These increase the height of the plant. On the other hand, lateral meristems increase the width of the plant. This is known as the ‘secondary growth of the plant’.

Plant Growth Is Measurable

At a cellular level, growth simply means an increase in the amount of protoplasm. Since this is hard to measure, growth is measured in a quantity proportional to this increase. Therefore, growth is measured in terms of increase in cell number, area, volume, length etc.
