The objectives of this study were to explore differences in the structural features of stem elongation in alpine and prairie ecotypes of Stellaria longipes Goldie in response to two contrasting temperature regimes. The two ecotypes were grown under warmer, 28 °C (day) – 22 °C (night), and cooler, 10...
