Growth in Plants: A Study in Number
نویسنده
چکیده
Three models of plant phyllotaxis are presented. Phyllotaxis is shown to be governed by subtle properties of number which insure that the florets are arranged so as to have the most space and therefore have the greatest access to sunlight. The mathematical tools discussed are Farey series, Wythoff’s game, continued fractions, and a Fibonacci number system called Zeckendorf notation.

Nitrogen deficit is one of the most limiting nutrients for plant production. Therefore, identifying diazotrophic indigenous inoculants to promote nitrogen fixation have a great importance in agriculture. In the current study, a number of rhizobacteria isolated from nodules of different legumes cultured in Kerman (IRAN) province. Isolates were screened for their ability to grow on N-free media. ...
