The multiscale nature of leaf growth fields
Plant leaves are out of equilibrium active solid sheets that grow in a decentralized fashion by deforming its unit cells while maintaining a typical shape. Here, the authors measure the surface growth of Tobacco leaves at high spatial and temporal resolution, and find that growth dynamics is dominat...
