A network of phytomers in cotton
Within-plant spatial variability in the production and demand for assimilates may have major implications for the formation of fruits. Gu et al. propose an FSP model for cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) based on local pools...

Start from here: SPL Theory links regenerative and life history strategies
The best chance of growing to maturity is to have the best start. A new theory connects seed and leaf size with phytomers to describe the relationship between regeneration and growth through a plant's lifetime.
