Leaf Development And Evolution II: Polarity, Boundaries And Axes Flashcards
1
Q
Phyllotactic patterns in angiosperms
A
1) alternate
2) opposite
3) whorled
4) spiral
2
Q
Spiral phyllotaxy in seed plants under SEM
A
- dome = S.A.
- protrusions = leaves
- pattern is shrinking
3
Q
Phytomers
A
1) leaf
2) axillary bud
3) internode
- iterative development
- specific arrangement
4
Q
Monocot phytomer
A
- leaf blade @ top
- different order
5
Q
S. kraussania
A
- dichotomous branching: specifically patterned major and minor branches
- ventral and dorsal leaf pairs w/ specific rhizophores
6
Q
S. kraussania shoot patterning
A
- how to generate 6/8 leaves?
- 2 cells on A surface act as stem cells
- meristem bifurcates
- 4x growth axes; DV, LR, 2x diagonal
7
Q
LR S. kraussania
A
How does meristem bifurcate?
8
Q
Fern shoot development
A
1) tetrahedral shoot initial
2) frond initial
3) pinna initial
9
Q
Older primordia specify leaf position
A
- anatomically distinguishable from S.A. flanks
- isolate I1 from apex by incision
- I3 develops closer to I2 than usual
- mechanical constraint? Biochemistry? Combinatorial?
10
Q
abphyll
A
2x P3 leaves
11
Q
NPA
A
- auxin analog
- binds to PATs and doesn’t detach
12
Q
Leaf initiation under NPA
A
- SAM becomes pin-shaped
- no leaf initiation from flanks
13
Q
pin1
A
- SAM becomes pin-shaped
- no leaf initiation from flanks
- auxin: rescue
- lanolin control
14
Q
Auxin:
A
- IAAH, IAA- (protonation states)
- cell wall/apoplast (5.5): IAAH
- diffuses through lipid bilayer to enter cytoplasm
- cytoplasm (7): IAA-
- stuck!
15
Q
PIN polarity creates
A
Auxin I1 maxima
16
Q
PIN polarity aligns w
A
- microtubule orientation
- stress, for support
