Development and Origin of Temperate Leaf Forms
Project summary:
The percentage of woody angiosperms with toothed-leaved plants increases sharply moving from tropical into temperate regions. This study aims to use MicroCT scanning to study the buds of tropical and temperate plants to test the hypothesis that the packing-efficiency of leaves within buds poses developmental constraints on leaf-toothiness at maturity.
