Title: | Turing patterns with pentagonal symmetry |
Authors: | Aragon, JL Gil, D Barrio, RA Maini, PK Villavicencio, M |
Issue Date: | 2002 |
Abstract: | We explore numerically the formation of Turing patterns in a confined circular domain with small aspect ratio. Our results show that stable fivefold patterns are formed over a well defined range of disk sizes, offering a possible mechanism for inducing the fivefold symmetry observed in early development of regular echinoids. Using this pattern as a seed, more complex biological structures can be mimicked, such as the pigmentation pattern of sea urchins and the plate arrangements of the calyxes of primitive camerate crinoids. |
