Description: Explores the embryo's built-in capacity for growth and examines determinants of seed dormancy and plant behavior in growth. Shows how seed growth may be triggered and polarity developed in germination. Portrays the behavior of shoot and root tips to external stimuli of light and gravity. Pictures photoperiodic stimulus on cocklebur and discusses the interaction of environmental stimuli. Views the Climatron in the Missouri Botanical Gardens, a climate controlled greenhouse wherein more effective research on plant growth is possible. Guest lecturers Dr. F. C. Stewart and F.W. Went, University of Wisconsin., Explores the embryo's built-in capacity for growth. Shows how seed growth is triggered and polarity developed in germination. Pictures the behavior of shoot and root tips stimulated by light and gravity.
