The main common principles of the long-range
transport systems construction in animal and plant
tissues are summarized. The results of measurement of
conducting system geometry in Cotinus obovatus leaf
are analyzed. It is shown that the principles of design of
the conducting systems in animals and higher plants are
the same and correspond to the model of optimal
pipeline. The mathematical model of fluid motion in the
conducting system of the leaf as a mo tion in a branching
pipeline with permeable walls is investigated. The cost
of a bifurcation of the vessels is analyzed. The
hypothesis of the control principle of optimal transport
system formation in the growing leaf is discussed. As an
example the self-similar conducting system with loops
is investigated and compared with some venation
systems in plant leaves.
