Abstract:Increase in cell number, anlage volume and length have beeninvestigated during the overall period of lateral root primordiumdevelopment in excised primaries and in attached roots of Zeamays L. Each of these aspects of anlage growth was found toincrease more or less exponentially during the interval betweenprimordium initiation and subsequent emergence as a lateralin both batches of roots. Values were then determined for celldoubling time (Td), the size of the proliferative fraction (Pf),and for anlage volume (Tv) and length (Tt) doubling times duringthe overall period of primordium development and at intervalsduring this period in both the excised and attached roots. Thepattern of change which took place in Td, Tv, Tl and Pf duringlateral primordium development was found to be similar in bothbatches of roots. However, the overall period of anlage developmentwas shorter in the excised roots than in the attached ones.Moreover, when laterals grew out of the excised roots they didso with fewer cells than comparable laterals emerging from theattached roots.
