Polar auxin transport and patterning: grow with the flow

Department of Biology, Utrecht University, 3584 CH Utrecht, The Netherlands

The first 100 words of the full text of this article appear below.

Particularly in the fall, plant leaves demand attention as examples of the beauty of nature. Around that time, anyone can pick them up and have a close look at the variety in venation patterns. For a considerable time, biologists and mathematicians went one step farther, trying to find regularities in these patterns and rules behind them. Vein organization can be classified in several general patterns characteristic of a particular plant (Fig. 1A–D), suggesting that genetic input into the patterning system can be responsible for predictable gross changes in venation networks. However, close inspection reveals that there is considerable variation . . . [Full Text of this Article]
