Cell differentiation during leaf development.
Along the proximal-distal axis of the leaf, a cell cycle arrest front proceeds in a basipetal direction, coinciding with cell differentiation. Along the dorso-ventral axis (insets at the left and right), specialized cell layers fulfill distinct functions and display different morphological traits, which are the clearest in differentiating parts of the leaf.
