Key Points: Phases of Plant Growth
- Three Phases - Cell Division (Lag) → Cell Elongation (Log) → Cell Maturation (Stationary).
- Cell Division (Lag Phase) - Thin-walled, non-vacuolated cells with a prominent nucleus undergo mitosis. Growth is slow.
- Cell Elongation (Log Phase) - Cells absorb water, become vacuolated and turgid, and enlarge in length and breadth. Growth is fastest.
- Cell Maturation (Stationary Phase) - Cells attain morphological and physiological maturity and become specialised. Growth stops.
- Growth Curve - These three phases together form an S-shaped (sigmoid) curve.
