Abstract: | A general allometric model between metabolic rate and body size has been derived for early plant ontogeny. The scaling exponent is (2 + N/6)/3, where N is the cell’s degree of freedom of motion. For early plant ontogeny N = 2, our prediction agrees well with Sack et al.’s observation [Sack, L., Maranon, T., Grubb, P.J., 2002. Science 295, 1923]. |
