TLDR
Studies of the temperature relations of cell division and cell elongation in the root of Zea, of the correlation of cytological and growth processes in the anther of Lilium, and of the vegetative shoot growth in Xanthium are cited as evidence of the existence of precise integrative mechanisms in the growth and development of plants.
Abstract: 
Studies of the temperature relations of cell division and cell elongation in the root of Zea, of the correlation of cytological and growth processes in the anther of Lilium, and of the vegetative shoot growth in Xanthium are cited as evidence of the existence of precise integrative mechanisms in the growth and development of plants. The existence of such integrative mechanisms allows one to devise precise developmental indices which should have great utility in developmental studies.

Temperature and Organism Size—A Biological Law for Ectotherms?

David Atkinson
- 01 Jan 1994 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, a tool changer is disclosed for automatically removing a working tool after having been used from the spindle of a machine tool such as a vertical milling machine, transferring the used working tool to a rack which stores a plurality of working tools.

Plant-rhizobacteria interactions alleviate abiotic stress conditions.

Christian O. Dimkpa, +2 more
- 01 Dec 2009 - 
TL;DR: An overview of current knowledge on physiological impacts and modes of action of bacterial mitigation of abiotic stress symptoms in plants is attempted and further research avenues are indicated to enable better use of cross-protection capacities of root-colonizing non-pathogenic bacteria in agricultural production systems affected by a changing climate.

Bergmann size clines: a simple explanation for their occurrence in ectotherms

Wayne A. Van Voorhies
- 01 Jun 1996 - 
TL;DR: Results indicate that body size differences in many ectotherms may simply be a consequence of developmental processes that cause cells to grow larger at lower temperatures independent of species-specific ecology.

Kinematics of plant growth.

Wendy K. Silk, +3 more
- 21 Feb 1979 - 
TL;DR: The equation of continuity shows the importance of including both growth velocity, u, and growth rate, ▽ ·u in estimates of local biosynthesis and transport rates in expanding tissue, although the classical continuity equation must be modified to accommodate the compartmentalized distributions characteristic of plant tissue.

The Effects of Low Temperature on Zea mays

P. Miedema
- 01 Jan 1982 - 
TL;DR: Evidence showing that seedling growth at suboptimal temperatures is limited by leaf and root extension rather than by photosynthesis or the uptake of water and mineral nutrients is presented.

Problems of relative growth

Julian Huxley
TL;DR: This detailed study of the different rates of growth of parts of the body relative to the body as a whole represents Sir Julian Huxley's great contribution to analytical morphology, and it is still a basis for modern investigations in morphometrics and evolutionary biology.

Problems of Relative Growth

C. F. A. Pantin
- 28 May 1932 - 
TL;DR: Huxley as mentioned in this paper argued that the concept of the form of an organism appears well defined, but this is to a large extent the result of our own constancy, and that our task is not that of describing a single well-defined structure, but the description of a sequence of continuously changing structures.

The plastochron index

Ralph O. Erickson, +1 more
- 01 Apr 1957 - 
TL;DR: The logarithm of length of the flower bud was shown to be linearly related to time, and the resulting graphs interpreted, on the basis of the growth studies, as a plot of the data in question against time.

Photoperiodism in Relation to Hormones as Factors in Floral Initiation and Development

Karl C. Hamner, +1 more
- 01 Dec 1938 - 
TL;DR: Evidence is presented that the floral initiation substance is not identical with any of the following known plant growth factors: vitamins B1, B2, and B6, ascorbic acid, nicotinic Acid, pantothenic acid), theelin, theelol, inositol, or indoleacetic acid.
