PLANT BODY PLANS "can be distinguished on the basis of a few basic developmental processes or events." http://aob.oxfordjournals.org/content/85/4/411.full.pdf View in LinkedIn

CRITERIA FOR PLANT BASIC BODY PLANS. "Growth and, if present, their basic tissue constructions. This approach identifies only four basic body plans: the unicellular, colonial, siphonous and multicellular body plan." http://aob.oxfordjournals.org/content/85/4/411.full.pdf View in LinkedIn

PROCESS VERSUS OUTCOME. "Mindful of the extensive morphological and anatomical homoplasy among the various plant lineages, plant body plans are far more easily distinguished on the basis of how they achieve their organized growth and, if present, their basic tissue constructions." http://aob.oxfordjournals.org/content/85/4/411.full.pdf View in LinkedIn

THREE PLANES. "When cell division occurs in all three planes, a multicellular body layout is possible, which can simultaneously manifest a filamentous and parenchymatous construction (e.g. Fritschiella)." http://aob.oxfordjournals.org/content/85/4/411.full.pdf View in LinkedIn

ONE AND TWO PLANES. "When restricted to one plane or orientation, unbranched filaments can be formed (e.g. Spirogyra); when confined to two orientations, cell division can give rise to branched filamentous, monostromatic, or pseudo-parenchymatous tissue constructions (e.g. Stigeoclonium, Volvox and Ralfsia, respectively)." http://aob.oxfordjournals.org/content/85/4/411.full.pdf View in LinkedIn

PLANES OF CELL DIVISION. "The multicellular body plan has three basic variants that can be described morphologically, albeit not mechanistically, in terms of the number of planes of cell division." http://aob.oxfordjournals.org/content/85/4/411.full.pdf View in LinkedIn

FOURTH PROCESS. "Symplastic continuity among cells during and after cell division by means of `cytoplasmic bridges', plasmodesmata, etc. establishes the multicellular body plan (e.g. Volvox and Polytrichum)."(Free solute connections between cells). http://aob.oxfordjournals.org/content/85/4/411.full.pdf View in LinkedIn

THIRD PROCESS. "Indeterminate growth of the multinucleate cell results in the siphonous body plan (e.g. Bryopsis and Caulerpa)." http://aob.oxfordjournals.org/content/85/4/411.full.pdf View in LinkedIn
