Summary Introduction

To determine: The mechanism by which the plants tend to elongate along one axis instead of expanding in all directions.

Introduction: There are several developmental processes in plants that make the cells to organize into complex organisms. The process by which structures originate and mature as a new plant is called plant development. The developmental procedure occurs due to the inherited genetic information of the organism and environmental effects. For example, one genotype could produce various phenotypes in different surroundings.

Stone cells in coconut shells are part of the division of labor in plants. What modifications do they have that make it impossible for them to be dividing and growing cells ?
The plant wall allows for plant cells to swell under large internal pressure, what membrane lined passage allows for rapid movement of polar molecules between cells?
Cell motility has been described as being like the motion of tank treads. At the leading edge, actin filaments form rapidly into bundles and networks that make protrusions and move the cell forward. At the rear, cell adhesions are broken and the tail end of the cell is brought forward. What provides the traction for moving cells? How does cell-body translocation happen? How are cell adhesions released as cells move forward?
