Growth Gradients in Growing Leaves.
Ink spots were introduced on the surface of young leaves (pictures to the left) and recorded again at maturity (pictures to the right). The photographs of the young and mature leaves were normalized to the length to compare the relative distribution of the spots and derive the growth polarity. Red arrows show the positions of a particular spot at young and mature stages. Leaf lengths are indicated.
