Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Growth and Differentiation in Apricot Trees
The writer has shown in earlier papers that the growth of an organism, or organ, proceeds in a definite, orderly fashion, and that it is possible to express the rate of growth by a mathematical equation. This contributes nothing, of course, to our knowledge of the causes of growth, but does emphasize the fact that the form and the func tion of organisms, though variable, nevertheless are not outside the realm of exact science. With respect to apricot branches, it is known that their growth in length conforms to an equation in which the size is shown to be a definite function of the time.
