Morphogen Gradient in a Leaf Primordium (IMAGE) National Institutes of Natural Sciences Caption AN3 expression is visualized by using green fluorescent protein, GFP. Long-range gradient of AN3 can be seen from base (left) to tip (right), which was achieved by a simple diffusion-based model in the growing leaf.
