Technological advances in imaging techniques and biometric data acquisition have enabled
us to apply methods of network science to study the morphology and structural design of …

The design and function of leaf venation are important to plant performance, with key
implications for the distribution and productivity of ecosystems, and applications in …

Leaves are extraordinarily variable in form, longevity, venation architecture, and capacity for
photosynthetic gas exchange. Much of this diversity is linked with water transport capacity …

Leaf size and venation show remarkable diversity across dicotyledons, and are key
determinants of plant adaptation in ecosystems past and present. Here we present global …

Regulation of cell growth and proliferation has a fundamental role in animal and plant
development and in the progression of cancer. In the context of development, it is important …

Green plants are Earth's primary solar energy collectors. They harvest the energy of the Sun
by converting light energy into chemical energy stored in the bonds of sugar molecules. A …

We introduce a class of biologically-motivated algorithms for generating leaf venation
patterns. These algorithms simulate the interplay between three processes:(1) development …

Ecology Letters (2011) 14: 91–100 Abstract The leaf economics spectrum describes biome‐
invariant scaling functions for leaf functional traits that relate to global primary productivity …

This article discusses methods to identify plants by analysing leaf complexity based on
estimating their fractal dimension. Leaves were analyzed according to the complexity of their …
