Paleochronic reversion in Psophocarpus: Dynamics II, rhizogeny on floral anatomic fields

Paleochronic reversion is confirmed in Psophocarpus as a basic floral ground state. That state can expand to include dynamics (T(g,...,h)) of axial expansion (AE) as a permutation (Tx) phase beginning as phyllotactic floral phylloid (Tphyld) and/or axial decompression (TAxl) manifest as linear elongation (TLong) and/or rotation (TRtn) and/or latitudinal (TLat) expansion. Organ regions present a continuum as a vector space [Formula] of floral axial transformation. A generative phase of meristem activity (T(Rz, Sam, Infl)) can follow.\n\nExperiments with 49 phylloid and/or phyllome paleochronically reverted flowers presented varying degrees of phyllotactic permutation involving development of a pericladial stalk (PCL) and/or inter-bracts stem (IBS) and/or activated pedicel (PdcL) and/or gynophore (Gnf), Cupule-like (Gnf)/Cupl-Lk) elongation. A meristem generative function included rhizogeny as root site generation (RSG) at the calyx (Cl), PCL, bracts (Bt), IBS, PdcL and/or Gnf/Cupl-Lk regions manifest as eigenvector functions as RSG whose density of generation was associated with permutation of the ground state. A continuum of pedicel to calyx regions constitutes a subset [Formula] of a linear vector space [Formula] whose extension is defined within the space: [Formula].\n\nThe vector space [Formula] transforms to a master vector field [Formula] of generated Euclidian eigenvectors so that:\n\nO_FD O_INLINEFIG[Formula 1]C_INLINEFIGM_FD(1)C_FD\n\nHighlightsO_LIPaleochronic reversion in plants presents paleo-botanic floral characteristics at a morphologic ground state.\nC_LIO_LIA permutative dynamic can ensue changing floral architecture.\nC_LIO_LIThat dynamic can then transform to meristem generation presenting rhizogenous eigenvectors.\nC_LI
