Flowers are plant structures characteristic of the phylum Angiosperms composed organs thought to have emerged from homologous leaves in order specialize a distinctive function: reproduction. Symmetric shapes, colours, and scents all play important functional roles flower biology. The evolution symmetry morphology individual parts (sepals, petals, stamens, carpels) has significantly contributed diversity reproductive strategies across flowering species. This facilitates attractiveness for...
SUMMARY The bilateral‐to‐radial symmetry transition occurring during the development of Arabidopsis thaliana female reproductive organ (gynoecium) is a crucial biological process linked to plant fertilization and seed production. Despite its significance, cellular mechanisms governing establishment breaking radial at gynoecium apex (style) remain unknown. To fill this gap, we employed quantitative confocal imaging coupled with MorphoGraphX analysis, in vivo vitro transcriptional experiments,...
