GO:0048767 root hair elongation The process in which the root hair grows longer. 629
GO:0009860 pollen tube growth Growth of pollen via tip extension of the intine wall. 586
GO:0009826 unidimensional cell growth The process in which a cell irreversibly increases in size in one [spatial] dimension or along one axis, resulting in the morphogenesis of the cell. 358
GO:0009825 multidimensional cell growth The process in which a cell irreversibly increases in size in two or three [spatial] dimensions or along two or three axes. 306
GO:0009932 cell tip growth Growth that occurs specifically at the tip of a cell. 279
GO:0051211 anisotropic cell growth The process in which a cell irreversibly increases in size in one or more axes, where the growth rate varies according to the direction of growth. Growth may be limited to a particular axis, axes, or to particular locations on the surface of the cell. 80
GO:0048768 root hair cell tip growth Localized growth of a plant root hair tip by extension of the cell wall. 60
GO:0007394 dorsal closure, elongation of leading edge cells The change in shape of cells at the dorsal-most (leading) edge of the epidermis from being polygonal to being elongated in the dorsal/ventral axis. 59
GO:0007124 pseudohyphal growth A pattern of cell growth that occurs in conditions of nitrogen limitation and abundant fermentable carbon source. Cells become elongated, switch to a unipolar budding pattern, remain physically attached to each other, and invade the growth substrate. 50
GO:0009831 plant-type cell wall modification involved in multidimensional cell growth The series of events that occur during cell growth that result in chemical or structural changes to existing cell walls of the type composed chiefly of cellulose and pectin. An example of this is found in Arabidopsis thaliana. 33
GO:0042547 cell wall modification involved in multidimensional cell growth The series of events resulting in chemical or structural changes to existing cell walls and contribute to multidimensional cell growth. 30
GO:0048588 developmental cell growth The growth of a cell, where growth contributes to the progression of the cell over time from one condition to another. 28
GO:0048675 axon extension Long distance growth of a single axon process involved in cellular development. 21
GO:0042814 monopolar cell growth Polarized growth from one end of a cell. 19
GO:0080159 zygote elongation The process in which the zygote irreversibly increases in size in one dimension after fertilization. An example of such a process is found in Arabidopsis thaliana. 16
GO:0048846 axon extension involved in axon guidance The long distance growth of a single cell process, that is involved in the migration of an axon growth cone, where the migration is directed to a specific target site by a combination of attractive and repulsive cues. 15
GO:0048674 collateral sprouting of injured axon The process resulting in reformation of a growth cone by the tip of an injured axon, or in collateral sprouting of the axon. Collateral sprouting is the process in which outgrowths develop from the shafts of existing axons. 10
GO:0001555 oocyte growth The developmental growth process in which an oocyte irreversibly increases in size over time by accretion and biosynthetic production of matter similar to that already present. 9
GO:0090254 cell elongation involved in imaginal disc-derived wing morphogenesis The process in which a cell elongates and contributes to imaginal disc-derived wing morphogenesis. 9
