Whole organ, venation and epidermal cell morphological variations are correlated in the leaves of Arabidopsis mutants.

Abstract excerpt

Despite the large number of genes known to affect leaf shape or size, we still have a relatively poor understanding of how leaf morphology is established. For example, little is known about how cell division and cell expansion are controlled and coordinated within a growing leaf to eventually develop into a laminar organ of a definite size. To obtain a global perspective of the cellular basis of variations in...
