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 ...
That’s according to research published this week in Genes and Development. The article, which draws on work based out of the Max Planck Institute for Plant Breeding Research (MPIPZ), demonstrates the ...

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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
