Cover legend
During evolution, plants have developed their own mechanisms to establish growth patterns, determine cell fates and differentiate organs. Comparison of the regulation and execution of developmental programs in plants and animals reveals the richness of independent invention and the limitations imposed by nature. The cover illustration shows Arabidopsis thaliana in the background and images representing key processes in plant development. From left to right: the reproductive phase (anthers photographed by F. Vera), tissue differentiation during vegetative growth (vascular vessels photographed by H. Tuominen), meristem maintenance (first emerging leaves in young seedlings, photographed by D. Alabadí) and root development (photograph of nuclei in a root section, by D. Alabadí).
