The growth of auxiliary buds into shoot is known as: (Agriculture Supervisor 2018)

-Variation in branching pattern is one of the main factors contributing to the vast diversity in shoot architecture found amongst plants.
-This variability is in turn influenced by patterns of axillary shoot meristem initiation, lateral shoot bud development and lateral shoot branch outgrowth.
-Among the flowering plants, shoot branches are derived from axillary meristems initiated in the axils of leaves.
-Axillary meristems, which subsequently function as shoot apical meristems, provide plants with unlimited growth potential.
