Topological Phenotypes Constitute a New Dimension in the Phenotypic Space of Leaf Venation Networks.

The leaves of angiosperms contain highly complex venation networks consisting of recursively nested, hierarchically organized loops. We describe a new phenotypic trait of reticulate vascular networks based on the topology of the nested loops. This phenotypic trait encodes information orthogonal to w...
