Summary Introduction
Introduction: Cell division and cell expansion are important events of plant growth. The processes of growth and differentiation are involved in the development of the plant. An increase in the size of the plant is referred to as growth. The process in which the cells become specialized to carry out different functions is known as differentiation.
