Many of the patterning mechanisms in plants were discovered while studying postembryonic processes and resemble mechanisms operating during animal development. The emergent role of the plant hormone auxin, however, seems to represent a plant-specific solution to multicellular patterning. This review summarizes our knowledge on how diverse mechanisms that were first dissected at the postembryonic level are now beginning to provide an understanding of plant embryogenesis.
许多植物的模式形成机制是在研究胚后发育过程中发现的，并且类似于动物发育过程中起作用的机制。然而，植物激素生长素所起的作用似乎代表了植物在多细胞模式形成方面的一种特定解决方案。这篇综述总结了我们目前对于以下方面的认识：最初在胚后水平剖析的各种机制如今如何开始为理解植物胚胎发生提供帮助。
