Update: on selected ROP cell polarity mechanisms in plant cell morphogenesis

S Müller - Plant Physiology, 2023 - academic.oup.com
The unequal (asymmetric) distribution of cell structures and proteins within a cell is
designated as cell polarity. Cell polarity is a crucial prerequisite for morphogenetic …

Axes and polarities in leaf vein formation

E Scarpella - Plant Physiology, 2023 - academic.oup.com
For multicellular organisms to develop, cells must grow, divide, and differentiate along

The making of a ring: Assembly and regulation of microtubule-associated proteins during preprophase band formation and division plane set-up

P Dahiya, K Bürstenbinder - Current Opinion in Plant Biology, 2023 - Elsevier
The preprophase band (PPB) is a transient cytokinetic structure that marks the future division
plane at the onset of mitosis. The PPB forms a dense cortical ring of mainly microtubules …
