Elastic stresses may play a crucial role in determining a leaf's venation pattern, according to a new study. Biologists have developed a model that reproduces statistical properties of venation ...

Evolution of the angiosperm leaf is traced through venation patterns by comparing those of living plants from the countries which formed Gondwanaland with the fossil record.

The plant hormone auxin controls many aspects of the development of plants. One striking dynamical feature is the self-organization of leaf venation patterns which is driven by high levels of auxin ...
