Abstract
The mystery of the morphogenesis of phyllotaxis has been of concern for several generations of botanists and mathematicians. Of particular interest is the fact that the number of visible spirals is equal to the number from the Fibonacci series. The article proposes an analytical solution to two fundamental questions of phyllotaxis: what is the morphogenesis of patterns of spiral phyllotaxis? and why the number of visible spirals is equal to number from the Fibonacci series? The article contains videos illustrating the recursive dynamic model of spiral phyllotaxis morphogenesis.
期刊介绍：
Progress in Biophysics & Molecular Biology is an international review journal and covers the ground between the physical and biological sciences since its launch in 1950. It indicates to the physicist the great variety of unsolved problems awaiting attention in biology and medicine. The biologist and biochemist will find that this journal presents new and stimulating ideas and novel approaches to studying and influencing structural and functional properties of the living organism. This journal will be of particular interest to biophysicists, biologists, biochemists, cell physiologists, systems biologists, and molecular biologists.
