Morphogenesis

Morphogenesis

Plant morphogenesis—the development of a plant’s form and structure—involves several overlapping developmental processes, including growth and cell differentiation. Precursor cells differentiate into specific cell types, which are organized into the tissues and organ systems that make up the functional plant.

Background:

The Arabidopsis epidermis serves as a model for studying cell fate determination.
A complex feedback network coordinates hair and non-hair cell fates in the epidermis.
Previous research has established the groundwork for investigating these developmental mechanisms.

Purpose of the Study:

To explore the mechanisms underlying patterned cell fate assignment in Arabidopsis epidermis.
To investigate the role of mathematical modeling in understanding developmental networks.
To analyze systems-level properties like robustness and redundancy in development.

Main Methods:

Experimental studies on Arabidopsis leaf and root epidermis.
Mathematical modeling of the epidermal cell fate network.
Integration of computational modeling with experimental validation.

Main Results:

Identification of a complex, interlocked feedback network regulating cell fate.
Mathematical models have highlighted novel mechanisms.
Model-directed experiments have confirmed these newly discovered mechanisms.
Demonstration of the power of integrated modeling and experimentation.

Conclusions:

Integrated modeling and experimentation offer powerful approaches to uncover developmental mechanisms.
Systems-level analyses can elucidate the origins and functions of developmental properties.
This research contributes to understanding the evolution of development.
