Roots of angiosperms differ in the behaviour of their apical meristems, and this diversity has been studied through the patterns of differentiation in a range of families. Except for three families of ...

Despite apparent diversity, evidence suggests that developmental interactions create predictable, non-random patterns of variation (for example, in digits 4 and limbs 6).

A test-bed system for examining how development guides evolutionary change is the arrangement of molars in mice. The first molar is larger than the one behind, which is in turn larger than the ...
