Abstract

It is generally recognized by animal embryologists that one of the most widespread and important developmental process among animals is morphogenetic movement. Because of the fact that plants characteristically possess hard cell walls, these formative movements are relatively rare and therefore have been largely ignored by the botanist. Nevertheless one may find some good examples among plants.
