Figure 3
Diagram illustrating leaf outgrowth in Arabidopsis. (A) Leaf primordium initiation; (B) leaf outgrowth; (C) adaxial/abaxial patterning (magnified view of inlet in B depicts the underlying genetic mechanisms controlling adaxial/abaxial patterning); (D) medial/lateral patterning (magnified view of inlet in B shows the underlying genetic mechanisms controlling mediolateral patterning). Illustrations are adapted from references mentioned in the text. P1: plastochron 1; P2: plastochron 2; I1: incipient site showing auxin maxima (yellow circle). Pro/dis: proximal/distal; med/lat: medial/lateral; ad/ab: adaxial/abaxial.
