The growth of a complex ''snapdragon flower shape''. Key to the model, is an hypothesis on'' how organisers control the axes'' along which growth occurs. The organisers are shown in cyan and green. On the right are the shapes of two symmetrical mutants computed from the same model (hypotheses).<br><br>
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 is introduced in ([http://www.ploscompbiol.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pcbi.1002071 Kennaway et al 2011]). The GPT-framework was used to capture an understanding of (to model) the Snapdragon flower [http://www.plosbiology.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pbio.1000537 Green et al 2011]. The Snapdragon model was validated by comparing the results with other mutant and transgenic flowers [http://www.plosbiology.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pbio.1000538 Cui et al 2010.]<br><br>
The GPT-framework was also used to model the developing shape of ''Arabidopsis'' leaves as they grow ([http://www.sciencemag.org/content/335/6072/1092.abstract Kuchen et al 2012]) a model that was extended to include ''Arabidopsis'' petals [http://cmpdartsvr1.cmp.uea.ac.uk/downloads/software/OpenSourceDownload_PLoS_SauretGueto_2013/GPT_Petal_PLoS_20130502.zip  Sauret-Güeto et al 2013].

''VolViewer'' uses [http://www.opengl.org/ OpenGL] and [http://qt.nokia.com/products/ Qt] to provide a user friendly application to interactively explore and quantify multi-dimensional biological images. It has been successfully used in our lab to explore and quantify confocal microscopy and  optical projection tomography images. It is open-source and is compatible with the Open Microscopy Environment ([http://openmicroscopy.org/site OME]).<br><br>

The ''AAMToolbox'' is used to analyse the shape and colour of collections of similar objects. Originally developed to analyse face shapes for lipreading ([http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/freeabs_all.jsp?arnumber=982900 Matthews ''et al''. 2002][http://www2.cmp.uea.ac.uk/~sjc/matthews-pami-01.pdf version of pdf]), we have used it extensively for analysing the shapes of leaves ([http://www.pnas.org/content/102/29/10221.short Langlade ''et al'' 2005.],[http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.2976/1.2836738 Bensmihen ''et al.'' 2010]) and petals ([http://www.sciencemag.org/content/313/5789/963.short Whibley ''et al'' 2006],[http://www.mssaleshops.info/content/21/10/2999.short Feng ''et al''. 2010]). The analysis can be applied to art, for example, finding systematic differences between portraits by Rembrandt and Modigliani.<br><br>

These images were produced from photographs using '''ArtMaster''' (formally known as '''PhotoArtMaster'''). The software received many favourable reviews when it was released (e.g. [http://graphicssoft.about.com/cs/photoart/gr/photoartmasterg.htm  "This software can give you a lot of satisfaction from your everyday photos"], [http://graphicssoft.about.com/library/products/aafpr_photoartmaster1.htm]

In 1952 Alan Turing proposed [http://rstb.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/237/641/37.abstract The chemical basis of Morphogenesis] - "... suggested that a system of chemical substances, called morphogens, reacting together and diffusing through a tissue, is adequate to account for the main phenomena of morphogenesis. Such a system, although it may originally be quite homogeneous, may later develop a pattern or structure due to an instability of the homogeneous equilibrium, which is triggered off by random disturbances. ..." Such patterning is now [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reaction%E2%80%93diffusion_system widely known]. However, the morphogenesis element of the story has been less widely explored - here we illustrate the process using ''GFtbox'' - but also see: [http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1360138507000611 plant meristem][http://home.thep.lu.se/~henrik/mnxa09/Jonsson2012.pdf review related plant stuff]

Two chemical substances react and diffuse to dynamically develop a pattern of spots (top row). We have added two simple growth rules ([http://www.ploscompbiol.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pcbi.1002071 based on our hypotheses on the growth of shapes]) to dynamically translate the pattern into a pattern of growth (bottom row). The changing geometry arising through growth which in turn feeds back on the reaction-diffusion system to modulate patterning. One of the morphogenesis rules uses the chemical concentration gradient to set the axes for anisotropic growth (arrows in third panel).
