Abstract excerpt
The developmental basis for the generation of divergent leaf forms is largely unknown. Here we investigate this problem by studying processes that distinguish development of two related species: Arabidopsis thaliana, which has simple leaves, and Cardamine hirsuta, which has dissected leaves with individual leaflets. Using genetics, expression studies and cell lineage tracing, we show that lateral leaflet...
