Title
A Numerical Study of Pattern Forming Fronts in Phyllotaxis
Matthew Pennybacker UA Campus Repository (The University of Arizona) 2013
Other claims from this paper (5)
- Method / resource The pushed-front model reproduced all features of spiral phyllotaxis.
- Mechanism A PIN1-mediated instability of uniform auxin concentration primarily generated the front.
- Mechanism Slowly changing metric forced transitions between spirals with decreasing parastichy numbers.
- Method / resource Front maxima configurations almost exactly coincided with discrete optimal-packing algorithm configurations.
- Method / resource The authors described a numerical integration method that preserves the equations’ variational structure.
