Quantitative morphology of the developing cucumber leaf
1984
Picken, A.J.F.
Leaves were harvested from cucumber plants (Cucumis sativus cv. Butchers' Disease Resister) grown at 27 °C in controlled environments. Gompertz and logistic curves fitted lamina length data well, but Gompertz were found to be more useful. The average intervascular interval increased from approx. 0.1–0.4 mm during leaf development. The average maximum number of cells through or around which material had to pass between mesophyll cells and the vascular system was approx. 7 and varied little, supporting the hypothesis that veins develop so as not to allow this number of cells to exceed a critical value.
