The evolution of plant architecture

Sussex, Ian M, Kerk, Nancy M·2001·Current Opinion in Plant Biology

Abstract

The vascular plants have evolved from a simple body plan that has diversified into the vast array of architectures seen in plants today. Much architectural diversity results from the varied growth patterns of apical and axillary meristems. Current research is showing that meristem growth patterns are regulated genetically and hormonally, and the genes that control these processes are being identified and characterized.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • The architecture of a mature plant is determined by the number and activity of axillary meristems and the growth characteristics of the branches that develop from axillary buds.

    “The architecture of a mature plant is therefore determined by the number and activity of axillary meristems and the growth characteristics of the branches that develop from axillary buds (Kerstetter and Hake, 1997; Sussex and”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
