How do plants achieve their remarkably regular arrangement of leaves and flowers? And why does this pattern remain so stable, even as plants grow and respond to their environment? Researchers at ...
How do plants achieve their remarkably regular arrangement of leaves and flowers? And why does this pattern remain so stable, ...
Leaf arrangement with one leaf per node is called alternate phyllotaxis whereas arrangement with two or more leaves per node is called whorled phyllotaxis. Common alternate types are distichous ...
Long before scientists applied their analytical skills to underlying regularities of form and process in nature, artists intuitively exploited a repertoire of common patterns that recur across organic ...
According to Charles Darwin, attempts to explain the mathematical patterns of phyllotaxis — the arrangements of leaves or florets on a plant stem — could “drive the sanest man mad”. That hasn't served ...
A Japanese plant species with a peculiar leaf pattern recently revealed unexpected insight into how almost all plants control their leaf arrangement. Leaves can be enjoyed for their shade, autumn ...
