Abstract
The variations in length and fresh and dry mass of etiolated hypocotyls of lupin during the growth have been studied. The growth exhibited by the different zones delimited along the hypocotyl was dependent on the localization of the zone as well as on the age of seedlings, but in both cases the pattern of growth was similar. During the period of growth studied (seedlings 7 to 21 d old), the growth of hypocotyl was basically due to cell elongation, since the relative elongation of cells was positively correlated with the relative elongation of the hypocotyl.
