摘      要：The evolution of animal and plant vascular systems played a pivotal role in the advancement from simple to complex organisms, through the provision of a delivery system for the distribution of components essential for both metabolism and growth. Interestingly, although these two vascular systems conform to the same general rules of fluid dynamics （Murray 1926; McCulloh et al. 2003）, the developmental mechanisms adopted by plants and animals, to generate these long-distance transport systems,
