Abstract
A new modified pricking technique, a two-pinhole method, was designed to de termine the spatial distribution of leaf elongation of grasses. This new te chnique makes it possible to obtain the distribution profiles of relative e lemental growth rates in the growth zone, to evaluate the effect of prickin g on the distribution profile of leaf elongation in the growth zone and to decrease the reduction in the elongation rate of grass leaves due to pricki ng.
