Controlling Size in Multicellular Organs: Focus on the Leaf
Unsolved Mystery L eaf size depends on cell number and size. However, leaves are not simply the sum of cell size and number; rather, they are under the control of an unknown, organ-wide integration system. The existence of such a system is strongly suggested by two mysterious phenomena: compensation and high-ploidy syndrome. Compensation is characterized by cell enlargement triggered by a signi...
متن کاملAGO1 defines a novel locus of Arabidopsis controlling leaf development.
An allelic series of the novel argonaute mutant (ago1-1 to ago1-6) of the herbaceous plant Arabidopsis thaliana has been isolated. The ago1 mutation pleotropically affects general plant architecture. The apical shoot meristem generates rosette leaves and a single stem, but axillary meristems rarely develop. Rosette leaves lack a leaf blade but still show adaxial/abaxial differentiation. Instead...
متن کاملSize dependence of rate-controlling deformation mechanisms in nanotwinned copper
Nanotwinned metals exhibit an unusual combination of ultrahigh strength, considerable ductility and enhanced rate sensitivity. We find that a Hall–Petch-type relationship closely fits the experiment data of activation volume as a function of twin spacing. The results suggest a transition of the rate-controlling mechanism from intra-twinto twin-boundary-mediated processes with decreasing twin la...
متن کاملGenetic interactions between leaf polarity-controlling genes and ASYMMETRIC LEAVES1 and 2 in Arabidopsis leaf patterning.
During leaf development, establishment of adaxial-abaxial polarity is essential for normal leaf morphogenesis. This process is known to be strictly regulated by several putative transcription factors, microRNA165/166 (miR165/166), a trans-acting short-interfering RNA (tasiR-ARF), as well as proteins involved in RNA silencing. Among the putative transcription factor genes, ASYMMETRIC LEAVES1 and...
متن کاملDecline of leaf hydraulic conductance with dehydration: relationship to leaf size and venation architecture.
Across plant species, leaves vary enormously in their size and their venation architecture, of which one major function is to replace water lost to transpiration. The leaf hydraulic conductance (K(leaf)) represents the capacity of the transport system to deliver water, allowing stomata to remain open for photosynthesis. Previous studies showed that K(leaf) relates to vein density (vein length p...
