plant body. One of the leading students of morphogenesis has recently 

 expressed this well: 



I think, after we have surveyed the facts, that the whole subject of growth 

 will seem bigger than the chemistry of synthesis, and that it will be more likely 

 that this latter will seem a small (although important) part of a larger scheme 

 in which growth is used here and there, sometimes encouraged, sometimes dis- 

 couraged, and in such a way that a consistent, whole, individual organism is 

 created in an orderly and masterful fashion. (J. T. Bonner, 1952a, p. 61.)
