WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - Purdue University researchers have developed an algorithm that quantifies and analyzes shape changes in puzzle piece-shaped plant cells, providing insights into the small-scale ...
Scientists have determined how key developmental genes influence growth of cells to produce such differences in leaf form. The researchers were able to make thale cress, which typically produces ...
A cross between two distinct, true-breeding plants of Antirrhinum majus L. showed an unexpected pattern of inheritance of growth habit in the F2, which was extended to both growth habit and leaf shape ...
Researchers know that the variation in leaf shapes can mean big differences in a farmer's bottom line. Now, a new discovery gives plant breeders key genetic information they need to develop crop ...
