Popis: The pattern of growth (velocity field) in the intercalary growth zones or monocotyledon leaves can be determined from patterns of cell number density (number per unit length of cell file) and leaf elongation rates using theory based on a cell number conservation equation. The case where elongation rate is non steady while the pattern of cell number density is steady is discussed and a method for extending calculations into the meristem using observations of numbers of mitotic cells in outlined. Application of these methods is illustrated using data for epidermal cells in the first leaf of Asphodelus tenuifolius Cav (...)
