Title

Other claims from this paper (5)
- Mechanism The cyclic increase and decrease in shoot apex size of Agropyron repens results from production of a new stem segment and leaf primordium each plastochron.
- Observation A progressive increase and then decrease in apex size of Agropyron repens occurs over several plastochrons.
- Mechanism The progressive size change of the apex is attributable to discrepancies between the size increment per plastochron and the size of the stem segment formed at its end.
- Observation The volume doubling time of the apical dome of Agropyron repens remains constant at approximately one plastochron.
- Association Fluctuations in mean cell generation time do not contribute to the size changes of the apical dome of Agropyron repens.
