Mechanisms controlling cell shape patterning in petals
… often exhibit various patterns on their petals. These patterns allow entomophilous plants to attract pollinators and also help them deal with abiotic stress such as UV-levels and water loss. While previous research largely focused on pigmentation patterns, structural patterns created by …
