  Growth generally refers to increase in size. Therfore cell division and cell elongation.
  Development encompases morphological changes- (morphogenesis/organ formation) -differentiation and the progression from one phase to another. Juvenille phase to floweirng phase in plants and the processes involved in this transition.
