摘要: A number of recent publications have assessed the outcome on leaf development targeted manipulation cell proliferation. The results these investigations awakened interest in long-standing debate plant biology precise role division morphogenesis. Does proliferation drive morphogenesis (cell theory) or is it subservient to a mechanism which acts at whole organ level regulate (organismal theory)? In this review, central growth processes (distinct from proliferation) highlighted and limitations our understanding basic mechanisms control are highlighted. Finally, an attempt made demonstrate how sequential local co-ordination might provide interpretation some observations
