This accumulation of auxin requires active PAT, which will occur only when the level of the PAT inhibitor from the existing primordia drops below some threshold.

  • Section 2. Jack Pine (Pinus Banksiana)
    SECTION 2. JACK PINE - 57 Section 2. Jack pine (Pinus banksiana) 1. Taxonomy and use 1.1. Taxonomy The largest genus in the family Pinaceae, Pinus L., which consists of about 110 pine species, occurs naturally through much of the Northern Hemisphere, from the far north to the cooler montane tropics (Peterson, 1980; Richardson, 1998). Two subgenera are usually recognised: hard pines (generally with much resin, wood close-grained, sheath of a leaf fascicle persistent, two fibrovascular bundles per needle — the diploxylon pines); and soft, or white pines (generally little resin, wood coarse-grained, sheath sheds early, one fibrovascular bundle in a needle — the haploxylon pines). These subgenera are called respectively subg. Pinus and subg. Strobus (Little and Critchfield, 1969; Price et al., 1998). Occasionally, one to about half the species (20 spp.) in subg. Strobus are classified instead in a variable subg. Ducampopinus. Jack pine (Pinus banksiana Lamb.) and its close relative lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta Dougl. Ex Loud.) are in subg. Pinus, subsection Contortae, which is classified either in section Trifoliis or a larger section Pinus (Little and Critchfield, 1969; Price et al., 1998). Additionally, subsect. Contortae usually includes Virginia pine (P. virginiana) and sand pine (P. clausa), which are in southeastern USA. Jack pine has two quite short (2-5 cm) stiff needles per fascicle (cluster) and lopsided (asymmetric) cones that curve toward the branch tip, and the cone scales often have a tiny prickle at each tip (Kral, 1993). Non-taxonomic ecological or biological variants of jack pine have been described, including dwarf, pendulous, and prostrate forms, having variegated needle colouration, and with unusual branching habits (Rudolph and Yeatman, 1982).

  • Shape Matters: Hofmeister's Rule, Primordium Shape, and Flower Orientation
    Int. J. Plant Sci. 164(4):505–517. 2003. ᭧ 2003 by The University of Chicago. All rights reserved. 1058-5893/2003/16404-0003$15.00 SHAPE MATTERS: HOFMEISTER’S RULE, PRIMORDIUM SHAPE, AND FLOWER ORIENTATION Bruce K. Kirchoff1 Department of Biology, P.O. Box 26170, University of North Carolina at Greensboro, Greensboro, North Carolina 27402-6170, U.S.A. Hofmeister’s rule is an empirical heuristic derived from the observation that new leaf primordia are formed in the largest space between the existing flanks of the older primordia. These observations have been repeatedly validated in studies of leaf arrangement, but there has been little attempt to extend them to inflorescence and floral organs. This investigation demonstrates the validity of Hofmeister’s observations to cincinnus and early flower development in Phenakospermum guyannense (Strelitziaceae) and Heliconia latispatha (Heliconiaceae) and relates these results to Paul Green’s work on the biophysics of organ formation. The cincinni of Phen- akospermum and Heliconia arise in the axils of primary bracts and produce a prophyll, continuation apex, and flower in regular succession. The shapes and orientations of the apical regions of the cincinni are correlated with the placement of these organs, which in turn effect the positions of the sepals and their sequence of formation. The result is two rows of mirror-image flowers. The mirror-image symmetry of the flowers is a direct result of Hofmeister’s rule in connection with the shape of the apical region. These two factors create a self-sustaining developmental system that produces prophylls, continuation apices, flowers, and sepals in regular succession.

  • The Diverse Roles of Auxin in Regulating Leaf Development

In recent years, it has become evident that auxin plays central roles in leaf development, including leaf initiation, blade formation, and compound leaf patterning. In this review, we discuss how auxin maxima form to define leaf primordium formation. We summarize recent progress in understanding of how spatial auxin signaling promotes leaf blade formation. Finally, we discuss how spatial auxin transport and signaling regulate the patterning of compound leaves and leaf serration. Keywords: auxin; leaf blade; auxin transport; patterning; auxin signaling; compound leaf 1. Introduction Unlike animals, plants continuously produce new organs, forming leaves, flowers, and stems postembryonically. The leaf is a determinate lateral organ. Leaves bulge out at the flanks of the indeterminate shoot apical meristem (SAM), a highly organized tissue containing stem cells. A typical eudicot leaf is composed of two morphologically distinct parts: A broad, flat blade and a narrow, stem-like petiole. For most plant species, leaves are the major sites of photosynthesis.

Whether disorders induced by biological noise may carry information on building principles of developmental systems is an important debated question. Here, we addressed theoretically this question using phyllotaxis, the geometric arrangement of plant aerial organs, as a model system. Phyllotaxis arises from reiterative organogenesis driven by lateral inhibitions at the shoot apex. Motivated by recurrent observations of disorders in phyllotaxis patterns, we revisited in depth the classical deterministic view of phyllotaxis. We developed a stochastic model of primordia initiation at the shoot apex, integrating locality and stochasticity in the patterning system.

Continuous aboveground organogenesis is achieved by meristems, which are mainly organized, established, and maintained in the shoot apex and leaf axils. This paper will focus on reviewing the recent progress in understanding the regulation of shoot apical meristem and axillary meristem development. We discuss the genetics of plant meristems, the role of plant hormones and environmental factors in meristem development, and the impact of epigenetic factors on meristem organization and function. Keywords: shoot apical meristem; axillary meristem; transcription; plant hormones; epigenetics 1. Introduction Plants are unique in their ability to continuously produce new organs throughout their life cycles. The process of continuous organogenesis depends on the activity of pluripotent cells. Some of these stem cells are located at the tips of shoot and root known as apical meristems. During embryogenesis, the shoot apical meristem (SAM) and root apical meristem (RAM) are established in the shoot apex and root apex, respectively. In monocots, such as rice and maize, the SAM is formed laterally, at the base of a single cotyledon [1].

  • Metabolism During Adventitious Root Primordium Initiation and Development
    324 Vol. 4 METABOLISM DURING ADVENTITIOUS ROOT PRIMORDIUM INITIATION AND DEVELOPMENT B. E. HAISSIG USDA-Forest Service North Central Forest Experiment Station Institute of Forest Genetics Rhinelander, Wisconsin 54501 (Received for publication 13 September 1973) ABSTRACT The review compiles and discusses literature concerning the metabolism of carbohydrates, nitrogen, nucleic acids, and proteins during adventitious root initiation and development. In addition, the review includes discussion of approaches to the study of metabolism during adventitious root initiation, and proposes potentially productive areas for future research. INTRODUCTION The present review concerns metabolism associated with the initiation and development of adventitious root primordia.1 Influences of hormones, particularly auxins, on metabolism in propagules have been included because root primordium initiation and development are, in part, hormonal responses, and because metabolic studies have frequently included hormonal treatment effects. In general, the scope and depth of the review are limited because many topics that concern the metabolism of inorganic and organic compounds during root primordium initiation and development have not been investigated. Enzymes catalyze the reactions of metabolism, and shifts in the type and activities of enzymes thus vary metabolism and development. Development mirrors metabolism, which supplies essential organic molecules (including enzymes) and energy. Development does not occur apart from metabolism, and, as a corollary, developmental stages probably result from particular, experimentally demonstrable patterns of metabolism. The controls of metabolism also control development. Therefore, developmental studies have increasingly explored metabolism for applicable trigger, modulating, and braking mechanisms. As yet, however, it remains obscure whether some aspect of metabolism directly senses primary developmental stimuli, or whether varied metabolism occurs secondarily, as a response to a lower order stimulus (Kahl, 1973).
