Stem elongation or jointing occurs as a result of internode elongation. Usually a plant has about five to six leaves on the main shoot when internode elongation first begins. Throughout development, the lower four nodes remain in the crown. The fifth node may remain in the crown or be elevated slightly and nodes six and seven are generally elevated above the soil. The elongating internode is hollow between the crown and the elevated growing point, except in solid stem varieties. Rapid stem or internode elongation brings the developing head above the soil surface. Each elongating internode becomes progressively longer and eventually leads to head emergence. 4, record 1, English, - shooting%20stage

A third person shooter game is one where the main aim of the game is to shoot or destroy the opposition(which will either be controlled by other online players or by the software itself). It differs from a first person shooter only in that you are looking down on the character you control(i. e. you can see your avatar on-screen) rather than viewing from the perspective of the avatar itself(as if you are viewing from its eyes). 6, record 2, English, - third%20person%20shooter%20game
