Unrolling of <i>Syngonium podophyllum</i> : Functional Anatomy, Morphology and Modelling of Its Peltate Leaves Open
The mechanisms underlying leaf unfolding remain largely speculative and are often inferred from mathematical models. Peltate leaves, unlike typical foliage leaves, frequently emerge in a “rolled‐up” state. This study investigates mechanism…

Natural coil springs: Biomechanics and morphology of the coiled tendrils of the climbing passion flower Passiflora discophora Open
Tendrils of climbing plants possess a striking spring-like structure characterized by a minimum of two helices of opposite handedness connected by a perversion. By performing tensile experiments and morphological measurements on tendrils o…

Leaf unfolding and lamina biomechanics in Syngonium podophyllum and Pilea peperomioides Open
In nature, leaves and their laminae vary in shape, appearance and unfolding behaviour. We investigated peltate leaves of two model species with peltate leaves and highly different morphology ( Syngonium podophyllum and Pilea peperomioides …
