You might assume that a leaf's vein patterns fork, like tree branches splitting into twigs as they get further from the trunk. But peer carefully and you'll see that the veins make innumerable closed ...

New University of Arizona research indicates that leaf vein patterns correlate with functions such as carbon intake and water use -- knowledge that could help scientists better understand the complex ...

Tree branches have inspired efficient transit networks, but a new study finds inspiration in leaves. The curvy, connected leaf veins found in some plants are an efficient way to circumvent damaged ...

Overexpression of SHR enhance mesophyll cell division, resulting in a substantial reduction in leaf vein density. However, exogenous auxin treatments led to an increase in leaf vein density. Notably, ...

Plant biologists are facing pressure to breed plants that can respond to changing environments. One method of monitoring the response of plants to different environments is by studying their vein ...
