The Role of Elastic Stresses on Leaf Venation Morphogenesis
Figure 7
Angles between veins as a function of the ratio between the radius of the thinnest (RS) and thickest (RL) segments. The angle between thin and intermediate radius is labeled αIS. The angle between thin and thick segments is αLS, whereas the angle between thick and intermediate segments is αLI. Isolated symbols are data obtained from actual leaves, and were taken from Figure 14 of [30]. Colored lines with small symbols are our numerical results.
