The proposal explores leaf ontogenesis in monocotyledons and eudicotyledons, highlighting their structural diversity. In monocotyledons, structures such as ligule, pseudopetiole, pseudobulb, and mucron will be discussed in terms of their ontogenetic development and evolutionary implications. In the context of eudicotyledons, simple and compound leaves will be discussed, with examples from…
Within the universe of vascular plants, some groups are important modes for leaf development, particularly in relation to anatomy. From preliminary data obtained by our research, we established two groups of plants that will be studied: Sapindales and Poales. The main objective of this proposal is to generate new information on leaf development in representatives of the Sapindales and Poa…
The shoot system, which consists of the stem and leaves, has been subject of recent research in anatomy and molecular biology, especially in regard to the leaf development. In this sense, this research addresses issues related to the leaf ontogeny, including anatomical and molecular aspects, within groups of plants not yet studied in the literature and that lack important information. The…
It presented the proposal of a phylogenetic study with Metrodorea A.St.-Hil. (Rutaceae Juss.) and related species from a wide analysis of morphological and vegetative reproductive organs, nodal and leaf anatomy, especially regarding leaf development due to the large morphological variation in relation to the division of the leaf blade found in the family, to produce phylogenetic trees tha…

The family Aizoaceae (Caryophyllales) is represented by a large number of succulent species, which can water-storage in all photosynthesizing cells, or present a distinction between water-storage parenchyma and chlorenchyma, being called all cell and storage cell succulents, respectively. In many species of Aizoaceae peripheral vascular bundles occur around the central rib, which may have…
Cyperaceae is the second largest family of Poales, with about 5700 species distributed in two subfamilies and 95 genera. This family is characterized by the 3-sided stem, spike-shaped inflorescence and the absence of ligule. However, some genera are exceptions, like Fuirena Rottb., Carex L. and Scleria P.J.Bergius, which have a ligule. Scleria is the sixth largest genus of the family, and…
Pseudobulbs are bulb-like enlargement stems present in many genera of Orchidaceae (Asparagales), described in the literature as reserve organs, especially for water, which help these plants to survive in epiphytic environments. Pseudobulbs have a predominance in the subfamily Epidendroideae, mainly in epiphytic orchid and with sympodial growth. Recent studies in Orchidaceae focus on syste…

Cyperaceae is the second largest family of Poales, with about 5700 species distributed in two subfamilies and 95 genera. This family is characterized by the 3-sided stem, the characteristic spike-shaped inflorescence, and the absence of ligule. However, some genera differ from this last characteristic, for example, Fuirena Rottb., Carex L. and Scleria P.J.Bergius. Scleria is the sixth lar…
In a typical vascular plant with simple leaves, KNOX genes are involved in the specification and maintenance of indeterminate identity in the shoot apical meristem (SAM), so these genes does not express in leaf primordia. Otherwise, in some compound-leaved plants, included some ferns, but with important exceptions (e.g. legumes), there is Class I KNOX expression in leaf primordia resembli…
