None of the physiological events in plant growth and development is truly independent. Photosynthesis, flowering, and mineral transport are sharply focused areas of research; yet these phenomena are not separable from other metabolic events in the plant. This feature of interdependence may be called correlations (26) or growth correlations (49, 50). The control exerted by the growth zone emanates from a meristem; these meristems include the root or shoot apex, cambium, flowers, fruit, pollen on stigma, and the ovule or seed in a fruit.
