abstract = {The geometries and topologies of leaves, flowers, roots,
shoots, and their arrangements have fascinated plant
biologists and mathematicians alike. As such, plant
morphology is inherently mathematical in that it describes
plant form and architecture with geometrical and topological
techniques. Gaining an understanding of how to modify plant
morphology, through molecular biology and breeding, aided by
a mathematical perspective, is critical to improving
agriculture, and the monitoring of ecosystems is vital to
modeling a future with fewer natural resources. In this
white paper, we begin with an overview in quantifying the
form of plants and mathematical models of patterning in
plants. We then explore the fundamental challenges that
remain unanswered concerning plant morphology, from the
barriers preventing the prediction of phenotype from
genotype to modeling the movement of leaves in air streams.
We end with a discussion concerning the education of plant
morphology synthesizing biological and mathematical
approaches and ways to facilitate research advances through
outreach, cross-disciplinary training, and open science.
Unleashing the potential of geometric and topological
approaches in the plant sciences promises to transform our
understanding of both plants and mathematics.},
