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.

Area of Science:

  • Developmental Biology
  • Organogenesis
  • Morphogenesis

Background:

  • Branching morphogenesis is crucial for organ formation, involving complex genetic interactions.
  • Accurate quantification of spatial data in branching has been a major challenge.
  • Understanding gene contributions to branching is vital for organ development.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel method for quantifying branching morphogenesis.
  • To enable objective assessment of genetic contributions to organ development.
  • To analyze spatial characteristics of developing organs and identify genetic dysmorphies.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a bespoke quantitative method for spatial datasets.
  • Application of the method to analyze developing mouse lung and kidney.
  • Examination of Tgfb2 mutant kidneys to identify genetic effects on development.

Main Results:

  • Successfully quantified aspects of branching morphogenesis in mouse lung and kidney.
  • Described spatial characteristics of ureteric bud and pulmonary epithelia.
  • Identified developmental delay and spatial dysmorphology in Tgfb2 mutant kidneys due to haplo-insufficiency.

Conclusions:

  • The developed method accurately quantifies branching morphogenesis.
  • This technique facilitates rigorous characterization of genetic and environmental factors in organ development.
  • Provides a crucial resource for studying essential, evolutionarily conserved developmental mechanisms.
