PLANT AND GROWTH’S

Sub Judul
 Base Competency 6
explain relation between Plant and growth’s
A. The Meaning of Plant growth and Maturity

 Plant growth :
Changing of Biological process that happened at
a creatures as irreversible size changing

Paddy growth
 Maturity of the plant:
Maturity is the process to achieve the level of
maturity or be a complete living.

Flowering at paddy
B. The Difference between Growth and Maturity

 The Growth
- At multi cellular organism
Identified by size progression of cells (bigger
and longer) and progression of cell quantity

- At unicellular
Identified by size progression of cells (bigger
and longer)
- The empirical is a function of :
genotype X environment = Internal Factor X external faktor
- It’s occurred on meristematic tissue caused by
mitosis propagation
- The growth Caused by Mytocis Cell propagation,
realize as :
a. Primary Growth : Merystematic tissue (at the roots

and stem terminal)

b. Secondary Growth : cambium tissue
Side growth caused by cambium activity
Maturity

- Plant maturity is a process become a complete

Plant/adult plant (started by sexual organ
forming)

- Maturity consist of differentiation process, its

cover all the higher changing such as anatomic
and physiological changing

- Implementation of meiosis cell propagation

activities
Circle of Plant growth
and Maturity

Flowering

Vegetative growth

Seed
C. Seedling

There are two types of seedling

1. Hipogeal type

Young
leaves

Primary roots
2. Epigeal type

leaves

Primary root secondary root

D. The Factors affect to Plant growth

1. Genetic
Gen is a factor of genetical characteristic wich
brings by life creatures
2. The Rain fall (Precipitation)
This Affect to water content, soil aeration, air humidity
and indirect determine kind of the land
3. Soil condition
Affected by phisical. Chemical and biological
characteristic
4. Temperature
The temperature affects the speed of growth and so
do Plants nature and structure plants grow well in
the optimum temperature
5. Sun light
- The intensity of light,
- Quality of light (wave length)
- Irradiation duration (length of day)
6. Nutrition and water
Raw materials in the photosyntesis process are
nutritionand water that will be converted into
plant food
7. Hormone
Hormone is an organic compound that is made
on the part of a plant and then transported to
others parts which have low concentration low
and cause a physiological effect)
Some commonly found Hormone in plant
growth processes, including:
A. Auxin
B. Cynin and Cytocyinin
C. Gibberellins
 E. Growth measurement

Growth can be measured by:

1. The growth of branches lenght
2. Growing of leaf square,the leaves develope from
    promeristem of stem growing point
3. Bulge diameter branches or trunks
4. Especially in the growing volume of fruit
5. Growing fresh and dry weight
