This project examines the mechanisms behind leaf shape and size variations in plants, specifically focusing on the role of the miR156 pathway in heteroblasty. It combines molecular biology and modeling to understand how environmental factors influence leaf growth.
The diversity of forms in nature raises questions on the mechanisms by which these forms originate.
In many plant species, variations in leaf shape and size between juvenile and adult leaves accompany the acquisition of reproductive competence.
This is termed heteroblasty.
The canonical molecular pathway controlling heteroblasty has been recently described.
It is topped by miR156, a miRNA which acts as a master switch to prevent the adult behaviour through the repression of transcription factors…
