Substances in Leaf Growth
It was shown by Went7 that leaf growth in etiolated pea seedlings is primarily controlled by substances supplied from the cotyledons. Vein growth is controlled by auxin,2 while growth of the mesophyll is independent of auxin, and it is the factors concerned in the growth of the latter which we will discuss in this paper. In a recent paper3 a bio-assay for these factors was described in detail, ...
متن کاملLeaf growth is conformal.
Growth pattern dynamics lie at the heart of morphogenesis. Here, we investigate the growth of plant leaves. We compute the conformal transformation that maps the contour of a leaf at a given stage onto the contour of the same leaf at a later stage. Based on the mapping we predict the local displacement field in the leaf blade and find it to agree with the experimentally measured displacement fi...
متن کاملSimultaneous monitoring of leaf growth and leaf movement.
Leaves experience predictable 24-h (diel) fluctuations in environmental factors such as light and temperature, as well as in energy availability. Accordingly, leaf growth is among the many processes regulated by the circadian clock. Despite the importance of leaf growth to the plant, it is relatively poorly understood, in large part due to the difficulty of tracking growth in leaves compared wi...
متن کاملInvolvement of plant growth substances in the alteration of leaf gas exchange of flooded tomato plants.
Ethylene, abscisic acid, and cytokinins were tested for their ability to either induce or prevent the changes which occur in gas exchange characteristics of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill. cv. Rheinlands Ruhm) leaves during short-term soil flooding. Ethylene, which increases in the shoots of flooded plants, had no effect on stomatal conductance or photosynthetic capacity of drained plants...
متن کاملActive suppression of a leaf meristem orchestrates determinate leaf growth
Leaves are flat determinate organs derived from indeterminate shoot apical meristems. The presence of a specific leaf meristem is debated, as anatomical features typical of meristems are not present in leaves. Here we demonstrate that multiple NGATHA (NGA) and CINCINNATA-class-TCP (CIN-TCP) transcription factors act redundantly, shortly after leaf initiation, to gradually restrict the activity ...
