Other claims from this paper (5)
- Observation Azara shoots generally have a large and small leaf at each node.
- Observation Successive nodes become asymmetrical through opposite changes in stipule and lateral leaf trace development until the adult state.
- Mechanism Dorsiventrality depends on alternating asymmetry between successive nodes, with alternation sometimes appearing later.
- Observation Seedling changes do not support a homoeosis interpretation of adult Azara structure.
- Observation Azara seedlings show a continuum from glandular to leaflike stipules, while the original leaf blade remains distinct.
