Plant Flowering and Organ Identity

Plant flowering and organ identity shape a plant’s form and structure. These changes depend on growth and cell differentiation, which work together during plant morphogenesis. Precursor cells become specialized cell types, and those cells are organized into tissues and organ systems that support the whole plant.

Plant morphogenesis is the development of a plant’s form and structure. Many overlapping processes, along with environmental factors, shape plant morphogenesis.

These processes include growth, cell differentiation, and cell-to-cell communication.

Growth includes cell division and cell expansion. During cell division, symmetry, rate, ...
