Juvenile and adult phases in woody plants

  • Chapter
Differenzierung und Entwicklung / Differentiation and Development

Part of the book series: Handbuch der Pflanzenphysiologie / Encyclopedia of Plant Physiology ((532,volume 15))

Abstract

In the course of its development, the tree seedling undergoes morphological changes, for example in leaf form, that are quite striking in some species. These phenomena may be considered as the outcome of changes in the physiological condition of the plant, or to put it differently, as a measure of its increasing physiological age. This is a rather vague concept, as the physiological processes causing ageing are largely unknown. Hence, there is no reason to assume that ageing processes in trees are fundamentally different from those in herbaceous plants, where similar morphological changes may be observed. There are, however, practical reasons for a separate treatment.
