Term Name: unidimensional cell growth
Synonyms: cell elongation, cell growth along one axis, cell growth in one dimension, cell morphogenesis by unidimensional growth, polar cell growth, polarized cell growth
Definition: 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.
