TitleLangdale, Jane Alison - Original Citation: certificate of election to the Royal Society
Date24 September 2011
DescriptionOriginal citation, subsequently amended to the one above, reads:
' Jane Langdale has made pioneering contributions to our understanding of how plants make leaves, and of how leaves develop photosynthetic competence. She discovered the molecular mechanism that maintains the determinate state of leaves (versus the indeterminate state of the meristems from which leaves are derived), showed how specific photosynthetic cell-types differentiate in the leaves of C4 plants, and revealed a novel family of plant transcription factors that regulate chloroplast development. These three innovative discoveries have all been developed within a phylogenetic cotext, thus enabling outstanding conceptual advances in our understanding of how leaf developmental mechanisms evolved.
