  8. ABC model of flower development - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ABC_model_of_flower...

    ABC model of flower development guided by three groups of homeotic genes.. The ABC model of flower development is a scientific model of the process by which flowering plants produce a pattern of gene expression in meristems that leads to the appearance of an organ oriented towards sexual reproduction, a flower.

  9. Phyllotaxis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phyllotaxis

    With larger Fibonacci pairs, the pattern becomes complex and non-repeating. This tends to occur with a basal configuration. Examples can be found in composite flowers and seed heads. The most famous example is the sunflower head. This phyllotactic pattern creates an optical effect of criss-crossing spirals.
