This project investigates how the shape and size of leaves in plants are controlled, focusing on the biomechanical role of margin cells. It combines molecular biology with computational analysis to enhance understanding of developmental biology.
The question of how the shape and size multicellular organs is controlled is a basic question in biology.
In plants, recent work from the Fleming lab has indicated that cells around the periphery of the organ (the margin cells) play a special role in influencing leaf size and shape.
The peculiar shape of these cells raises the possibility that they play a mechanical role in constraining leaf size and shape.
The aim of this project is to further investigate the function of cells at the leaf margi…
