Axioms and axes in leaf formation?

نویسنده

  • A Hudson
چکیده

Formation of leaves and floral organs involves down-regulation of meristem-specific homeobox genes, and de novo expression of genes for organ identity, growth and patterning. Genes required for all these aspects of organ formation have been identified. The challenge now is to establish how they interact to direct organogenesis.

CORKSCREW1 defines a novel mechanism of domain specification in the maize shoot.

In higher plants, determinate leaf primordia arise in regular patterns on the flanks of the indeterminate shoot apical meristem (SAM). The acquisition of leaf form is then a gradual process, involving the specification and growth of distinct domains within the three leaf axes. The recessive corkscrew1 (cks1) mutation of maize (Zea mays) disrupts both leaf initiation patterns in the SAM and doma...

BASE AXIOMS AND SUBBASE AXIOMS IN M-FUZZIFYING CONVEX SPACES

Based on a completely distributive lattice $M$, base axioms and subbase axioms are introduced in $M$-fuzzifying convex spaces. It is shown that a mapping $mathscr{B}$ (resp. $varphi$) with the base axioms (resp. subbase axioms) can induce a unique $M$-fuzzifying convex structure with  $mathscr{B}$ (resp. $varphi$) as its base (resp. subbase). As applications, it is proved that bases and subbase...

BASES AND CIRCUITS OF FUZZIFYING MATROIDS

In this paper, as an application of fuzzy matroids, the fuzzifying greedy algorithm is proposed and an achievableexample is given. Basis axioms and circuit axioms of fuzzifying matroids, which are the semantic extension for thebasis axioms and circuit axioms of crisp matroids respectively, are presented. It is proved that a fuzzifying matroidis equivalent to a mapping which satisfies the basis ...

Novel as1 and as2 defects in leaf adaxial-abaxial polarity reveal the requirement for ASYMMETRIC LEAVES1 and 2 and ERECTA functions in specifying leaf adaxial identity.

The shoot apical meristem (SAM) of seed plants is the site at which lateral organs are formed. Once organ primordia initiate from the SAM, they establish polarity along the adaxial-abaxial, proximodistal and mediolateral axes. Among these three axes, the adaxial-abaxial polarity is of primary importance in leaf patterning. In leaf development, once the adaxial-abaxial axis is established within...

The asymmetric leaves2 (as2) mutant of Arabidopsis thaliana generated leaf lobes and leaflet-like structures from the petioles of leaves in a bilaterally asymmetric manner. Both the delayed formation of the primary vein and the asymmetric formation of secondary veins

The left-right symmetry of most living things has been of general interest not only to biologists but also to researchers in other fields. In contrast to animals that have developed bodies with left-right symmetry, which is believed to be tightly linked to the capacity for mobility, plants are basically immovable and their overall body shapes exhibit conic symmetry (Gardner, 1990). It is, nonet...
