TL;DR: In this article, a morphometric analysis of more than 1,200 grape accessions was performed, which demonstrated a genetic basis for the intricate diversity present in grape leaves and indicated an important genetic component, which confirmed with estimates of heritability.

TL;DR: POPCORONA illustrates another function of Class III HD ZIPs: regulating cell differentiation during secondary growth, and results in coordinated changes in expression of genes within a previously described transcriptional network regulating cell differentiate and cell wall biosynthesis.

TL;DR: This paper begins with an overview in quantifying the form of plants and mathematical models of patterning in plants, then explores the fundamental challenges that remain unanswered concerning plant morphology, and ends with a discussion concerning the education of plant morphology synthesizing biological and mathematical approaches.

TL;DR: This work describes left-right asymmetries in tomato and Arabidopsis thaliana leaves that are dependent on phyllotactic direction that provide a framework to study a previously overlooked developmental axis and provide insights into the developmental constraints imposed upon leaf morphology by auxin-dependent phyllOTactic patterning.

TL;DR: It is proposed that changes in the expression of duplicated CYC-like genes led to the evolution of radial flower symmetry in Aragoa/Plantago, and that further disintegration of the symmetry gene pathway resulted in the wind-pollination syndrome of Plantago.
