The formation of stomata and leaf mesophyll airspace must be coordinated to establish an efficient robust network that facilitates gas exchange for photosynthesis, however the mechanism by which this development occurs remains unclear. Here, we combine microCT analyses with measures stomatal size patterning in a range wild, domesticated transgenic lines wheat Arabidopsis show is linked function both monocots eudicots. Our results support hypothesis flux via pores influences degree spatial...
Summary The pattern of cell division, growth and separation during leaf development determines the volume airspace in a leaf. resulting balance cellular material is expected to significantly influence primary function leaf, photosynthesis, yet manner degree which division patterns affect networks photosynthesis remains largely unexplored. In this paper we investigate relationship size patterning, by promoting repressing expression cycle genes mesophyll. Using micro CT imaging quantify...
Abstract. Despite the importance of fungi in soil ecosystem services, a theoretical framework that links management strategies with fungal ecology is still lacking. One key challenges to understand how complex geometrical shape pores affects spread and species interaction. Progress this area has long been hampered by lack experimental techniques for quantification. In paper we use X-ray computed tomography quantify characterize pore geometry at microscopic scales (30 μm) are relevant soil....
A mechanistic understanding of plant physiological processes occurring in the above-ground organs, such as photosynthesis leaves, requires knowledge structural properties tissues, including leaf thickness (Hanba et al., 1999; Zhu 2010; Niinemets 2011), cell size, and stomatal distribution influencing gas exchange (Sage Sage, 2009; Gong 2011; Terashima 2011). However, previous work has been unable to determine precisely how three dimensional (3D) complexity structure impacts upon...
The causal relationship between cell division and growth in plants is complex. Although altered expression of cell-cycle genes frequently leads to organ growth, there are many examples where manipulation the machinery a limited outcome at level form, despite changes constituent size. One possibility, which has been under-explored, that patterns resulting from gene alter physiology organ, this an effect on growth. We performed series experiments retinoblastoma-related protein (RBR), well...
Understanding evolutionary mechanisms is fundamental to a balanced biological education, yet practical demonstrations are rarely considered. In this paper we describe bacterial liquid microcosm which can be used demonstrate aspects of evolution, namely adaptive radiation, niche colonisation and competitive fitness. microcosms inoculated with Pseudomonas fluorescens SBW25, evolved mutants such as the Wrinkly Spreader (WS) rapidly arise form biofilms covering air–liquid (A–L) interface. WS...

A multifractal analysis (MFA) is performed on three-dimensional grayscale images associated with natural porous structures (soil samples). First, computed tomography (CT) scans are carried out the samples to generate 3D images. Then, a preliminary conducted evaluate key quantities porosity, such as void fraction, pore volume, connectivity, and surface area. Finally, successfully identified separated into two different structure families by using MFA. new software (Munari) carry MFA of also presented.
