    • Most cacti in subfamily Cactoideae have tiny foliage leaves (most less than 1.5 mm long) hidden by enlarged axillary buds (the spine clusters). Leaf development similar to that of Arabidopsis and other model plants occurs in six species that have a rudimentary lamina, mesophyll, vascular tissue, stomata, and dorsiventral asymmetry. In the other 141 species, mature foliage leaves are progressively simpler, as if development stops at different points during otherwise ordinary morphogenesis. In 21… CONTINUE READING
