2016年9月15日 · Helical growth in plants involves many different patterns, ranging from the exploratory looping of extending stems and other organs, to the coiling of tendrils to support the climbing plant body, the twisting of supporting stems through 180° to reverse the orientation of leaves and flowers, the contortion of petals, and the twisting of flat ...

Helical growth is when cells or organs expand, resulting in helical shaped cells or organs and typically including the breakage of symmetry. This is seen in fungi, algae, and other higher plant cells or organs. [1] Helical growth can occur naturally, such as in tendrils or in twining plants.

2016年9月15日 · Many plants show some form of helical growth, such as the circular searching movements of growing stems and other organs (circumnutation), tendril coiling, leaf and bud reversal (resupination), petal arrangement (contortion) and leaf blade twisting. Recent genetic findings have revealed that such he …

Here, I provide an overview of the genes and cellular processes that underlie helical patterning. I also discuss the diversity of helical growth patterns in plants, highlighting their potential adaptive significance and comparing them with helical growth patterns in animals.

With this understanding, we develop a broad scientific framework for a morphological phase diagram that is capable of rationalizing four configurations commonly found in plant organs: twisting, helical twisting, saddle bending, and edge waving.

Helical growth is often found in plants with twining tendrils and spiral order of leaves, petals, or florets. For many years, the molecular and cellular basis of left-right asymmetry as well as the potential importance of this asymmetry in biological functions has been a fundamental issue in biological sciences. In general, plant shape and

2017年8月7日 · Our findings reveal a novel source of left-handed plant growth caused by changes in cell wall composition that is independent of microtubule orientation. We propose that an important function of rhamnose-containing cell wall polymers is to suppress helical twisting of expanding plant cells.
