任安芝 What Is Growth? v Growth is the increment in dry mass, volume, length, or area that results from the division, expansion, and differentiation of cells. v Increment in dry mass may not, however, coincide with changes in each of these components of growth. For example, leaves often expand and roots elongate at night, when the entire plant is decreasing in dry mass because of carbon use in respiration. On the other hand, a tuber may gain dry mass without concomitant change in volume, as starch accumulates. v 生长（growth) ：植物干物质或体积的增大 v 发育（development)
