The 2D surface geometry of the shoot and root apical meristems of diverse vascular plants was analyzed using six different non-linear equations to assess which among the six provided the best mathematical representation. One among the six equations (the superparabolic equation) emerged as superior to the rest, although none was canonically correct.

It was a fantastic meeting!
Thank you for organising and bringing together #cereal scientists to talk about meristems.
The science was breathtaking and the parallels between the species was thought-provoking.
