Modifications to a LATE MERISTEM IDENTITY-1 gene are responsible for the major leaf shapes of Upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.)

This study identifies a mutation in the LMI1-like gene at the okra locus that controls leaf shape variation in cotton, showing that a promoter duplication and an exonic deletion are responsible for different leaf morphs.

Plant Chimeras: the good, the bad, and the Bizzaria

This review discusses the historical and biological significance of plant chimeras, highlighting their role in understanding development and intercellular communication in a heterogenomic context.

Latent developmental and evolutionary shapes embedded within the grapevine leaf

The paper analyzes leaf shapes from wild grapevines to determine if genetic and developmental factors contributing to shape are separable.

Climate and developmental plasticity: interannual variability in grapevine leaf morphology

The paper analyzes leaf morphology in grapevines across two growing seasons to identify shape features linked to climate variability.
