Title

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 Modelled auxin fluctuation maxima were assumed to initiate new primordia.
- Mechanism Slowly changing metric forced transitions between spirals with decreasing parastichy numbers.
- Method / resource The authors described a numerical integration method that preserves the equations’ variational structure.
