Summary Introduction
To write:
The consequences if overall plant architecture was bilaterally symmetric
Introduction:
It is known that the orientation of an organism is based on symmetry and it could be radial or bilateral if it is around plane or axis. Radial symmetry indicates that the division of the body around its central axis gives identical sides. Bilateral symmetry gives two sides, right and left when the body is separatedor cut alongthe single plane wherein the two sides are the mirror image of other.
