- Plant growth and geographic distribution (where the plant can grow) are greatly affected by the environment. If any environmental factor is less than ideal, it limits a plant's growth and/or distribution. For example, only plants adapted to limited amounts of water can live in deserts.

During the formative phase of growth, growth is dominated by cell division. Cell division leads to a rise of new daughter cells from pre-existing parent cells. Plant cells divide by the process of mitosis, where identical cells are created. It is carried out in two steps: 1. Division of Nucleus or Karyokinesis 2. Division of Cytoplasm or Cytokinesi...
During this stage, the newly formed cells grow in size, which results in the growth of the tissues and organs. The growth in the size of the cells is due to various factors such as absorption of water, formation and growth of vacuoles and the thickening of the cell wall.”
During the maturing process, the cells take a definite shape and structure for a specialised function. This growth leads to the differentiation of the tissues. The important factors affecting the growth of plants include: 1. Temperature: Growth is accelerated with the increase in temperature. 2. Light: Light intensity, duration of light and the qua...

May 31, 2021 · Environmental factors are more influential on growth and quality of fruits. They are mainly responsible for abiotic stresses induced to the plants, and affect fruit development and quality. There are certain mechanisms behind the stress tolerance caused by these environmental factors.

Frequently, however, the developmental rate is affected profoundly by recurring cycles in the environment, particularly those of temperature and of day length. In effect, these cycles provide a timetable for the plant, thus adjusting flowering, fruiting, and seed dispersal to the season and increasing the chances for successful propagation.
