  1. UCLA team develops math relationship that explains leaf veins

    By comparing leaves from around the world, UCLA botanists have developed a mathematical formula that explains how the major veins in leaves grow. The finding helps explain why flowering plants took over from cycads and conifers as the planet's dominant flora and provides a quick way to estimate leaf size from fragments. The latter capability will be especially useful in studying fossilized leaves, allowing paleontologists to develop better estimates of ancient climates.
