Axioms and axes in leaf formation?
Formation of leaves and floral organs involves down-regulation of meristem-specific homeobox genes, and de novo expression of genes for organ identity, growth and patterning. Genes required for all these aspects of organ formation have been identified. The challenge now is to establish how they interact to direct organogenesis.
