Elongation in spring may be associated with the vigorous movement of structural materials at that season, and subsequent dwarfing may be associated with a reduced movement, perhaps supplemented by increased desiccation. The amount of branch elongation varies with the season and is reciprocal to the width of the annual ring (p. 691), maximum elongation occurring in moist and minimum elongation in dry seasons. Differences between twigs of different species (e.g. the slender elongated twigs of willows, as compared with the stout twigs of the sumacs) appear inherent rather than related to external factors. Additional periodic phenomena.--Periodicity is exhibited in the daily growth of stems, elongation being greater by night than by day, as is illustrated by the bamboo, of whose extraordinary growth about two thirds occurs by night. The factors here involved are complex, but may be associated in part with the absence of light (directly or indirectly or both) and with lessened transpiration. Notable periodicity is exhibited by biennial rosette plants (fig. 1036), in which, possibly because of insufficient structural material, there is no stem development during the first season, though a vigorous erect stem rises in t...
