|width="50%"| ''GFtbox'' is an implementation of the Growing Polarised Tissue Framework for understanding and modelling the relationship between gene activity and the growth of shapes such leaves, flowers and animal embryos (PLoS Computational Biology, [http://www.ploscompbiol.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pcbi.1002071 Link]). <br><br>The GPT-framework was used to capture an understanding of (to model) the [http://www.plosbiology.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pbio.1000537 growing Snapdragon flower]. The Snapdragon model was validated by [http://www.plosbiology.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pbio.1000538 comparing the results with other mutant and transgenic flowers.]<br><br>The icon shows an asymmetrical outgrowth. Conceptually, it is specifed by two independent patterns under genetic control: a pattern of growth and a pattern of organisers. The outgrowth arises from a region of extra overall growth. Growth is aligned along axes set by two interacting systems. Organisers at the ends of the mesh create a lengthwise gradient. This gradient interacts with the second due to an organiser that generates polariser in a region that becomes the tip of the outgrowth.
