Exploring how patterns arise in plant form
The Interdisciplinary Group (Plant Science) aims to clarify how patterns arise during plant growth.
Simple, regular biological patterns, such as the arrangement of leaves and of cells, have long attracted scientists and are still actively studied.
At the tissue level, the lab focuses on how the cell division plane is selected; at the whole-plant level, it studies a perennial herbaceous plant characterized by the plasticity of its phyllotaxis.
Key terms
- Cell division plane
- The plane that forms the boundary when a cell divides into two
- Phyllotaxis
- The arrangement of leaves on a stem
- Plasticity
- The ability of form or properties to change rather than being fixed in a single way
ResearchResearch themes
The aim of this lab is to elucidate how patterns are generated during plant growth. It approaches the question at two levels: the tissue and the whole plant. The most recent publication listed on the lab website is from 2019.
*Illustrative imageSelection of the Cell Division Plane
As research at the tissue level, the lab focuses on how the plane along which a plant cell divides is selected.
*Illustrative imagePlasticity of Phyllotaxis
As research at the whole-plant level, the lab studies a perennial herbaceous plant characterized by plasticity in the way its leaves are arranged (phyllotaxis).
