Observations of reaction fibers in leaves of dicotyledons |

Description |
HALLE, OLDEMAN, AND TOMLINSON (1978) have discussed the transference of function between compound leaves and plagiotropic branches in the context of tree architecture. In trees conforming to Cook's model (see Halle, Oldeman, & Tomlinson, 1978), plagiotropic branches resemble compound leaves in their determinate growth and their periodic abscission. Conversely, certain trees (primarily in the Meliaceae) have compound leaves that behave like plagiotropic branches. |
