“…Standard transformation strategies are time consuming and require skilled labor; they are inefficient in many species and usually are applicable in a limited number of genetic backgrounds; and many important crop varieties and species remain recalcitrant. The restriction of transformation to a small number of genetic backgrounds can have large impacts on breeding progress (Wallace et al, 2009;Altpeter et al, 2016). In addition, although somaclonal variation is an explicit breeding method in many species, it can introduce undesired genetic and epigenetic changes (Kaeppler et al, 2000).…”

“…She discussed their successes using CRISPR-Cas9 to generate edited plants in barley, wheat, brassicas and tomato, highlighted that the technology is working very well in their hands. They found that the main bottleneck when generating GE plants arises from the poor efficiency of plant transformation, which remains a significant challenge (Altpeter et al 2016).…”

“…These insights have led to many models of plant architectures, including Lindenmayer systems [16] and its many variants [17–19], the metabolic theory of ecology [20], and functional-structural models [21–25], used to simulate how different physiological or ecological factors influence plant structure. These models have had wide applications in agriculture [26], plant engineering [27, 28], and computer graphics [16, 29]. …”

SUMMARY Plant architectures can be characterized statistically by their spatial density function, which specifies the probability of finding a branch at each location in the territory occupied by a plant. Using high-precision 3D scanning, we analyzed 557 plant shoot architectures, representing three species, grown across three to five environmental conditions, and through 20–30 developmental time points. We found two elegant properties in the spatial density functions of these architectures: all functions could be nearly modified in one direction without affecting the density in orthogonal directions (called “separability”), and all functions shared the same underlying shape, aside from stretching and compression (called “self-similarity”). Surprisingly, despite their striking visual diversity, we discovered that all architectures could be described as variations on a single underlying function: a Gaussian density function truncated at roughly two SDs. We also observed systematic variation in the spatial density functions across species, growth conditions, and time, which suggests functional specialization despite following the same general design form.
