What is "increased"

Usage examples of "increased".

The movement at right angles to the above lines was due to the arched hypocotyl becoming more arched as it increased in height.

We are naturally led to suspect that the same cause acts with shoots as with roots, namely, an increased flow of sap into the lateral ones.

Wiesner denies in certain cases the accuracy of De Vries' conclusion about turgescence, and maintains*** that the increased extensibility of the cellwalls is the more important element.

That such extensibility must accompany increased turgescence in order that the part may bend is manifest, and this has been insisted on by several botanists.

The position which young leaves and other organs ultimately assume is acquired by the circumnutating movement being increased in some one direction.

This great movement, due to increased growth along the concave surface of the arch, was caused by the basal leg bending backwards from the upper part, that is in a direction opposite to the dependent tip, in the same manner as occurred with the hypocotyl of the cabbage.

But we think that some importance may be attributed to the increased force gained by the hypocotyl, epicotyl, or other organ by being at first arched.

The arching, to whatever cause it may be due, is the result of modified circumnutation, through increased growth along the convex side of the part.

Circumnutation depends on one side of an organ growing quickest (probably preceded by increased turgescence), and then another side, generally almost the opposite one, growing quickest.

The number 89 might have been a little increased, for the cotyledons remained almost horizontal at night in some species in a few genera, for instance, Trifolium and Geranium, which are included amongst the sleepers, such genera might therefore have been added to the 89.

It was equally evident that the cotyledons of many plants, not provided with pulvini, increased rapidly in length.

After 2 additional days' curvature considerably increased in the same direction.

Nevertheless, when the apex encountered an obstacle in its downward course, the growing part became so uniformly and symmetrically curved, that its appearance indicated not mere mechanical bending, but increased growth along the whole convex side, due to the irritation of the apex.

On another occasion only 7 out of 14 behaved in this manner, but after two more days the proportion of the curved increased to 17 out of 23.

This change can hardly be due to an increased flow of sap into the part.
