Unlike animals, plants do not stop growing after reaching maturity. They continue to grow and bear new roots, leaves, branches, flowers, etc. While roots, sterns and their branches have indefinite growth, other organs like leaves, flowers and fruits show limited or definite growth. They appear and fall off periodically and sometimes repeatedly.
In lower plants, growth is diffused as every cell can divide and enlarge. Higher plants possess specific areas which take part in the formation of new cells.
Assertion: Cytokinins increases shelf life of fruits and vegetables.
Reason : Cytokinins induce cell division.
