Review: The mechanical feedback theory of leaf lamina formation ($) (Trends Plant Sci.)
Plant Science Research WeeklyThe contribution of microtubule orientation to the direction of cell expansion is familiar to most; when microtubules wrap around the middle of a cell like a belt, the cell expands in the perpendicular direction to become longer. Recent studies have extended this idea and proposed that the mechanical…
