The advent of user-friendly instruments for measuring force/deflection curves of plant
surfaces at high spatial resolution has resulted in a recent outpouring of reports of the …

Highlights•Cellulose interactions with the matrix depend on microfibril shape.•Physical data
point to a microfibril made of 18–24 chains, not 36 chains.•Recent structures for cellulose …

Plants maintain the ability to form lateral appendages throughout their life cycle and form
leaves as the principal lateral appendages of the stem. Leaves initiate at the peripheral zone …

Morphogenesis emerges from complex multiscale interactions between genetic and
mechanical processes. To understand these processes, the evolution of cell shape …

Although it is a central question in biology, how cell shape controls intracellular dynamics
largely remains an open question. Here, we show that the shape of Arabidopsis pavement …

mechanical processes. To understand these processes, the evolution of cell shape …

Positional information is a central concept in developmental biology. In developing organs,
positional information can be idealized as a local coordinate system that arises from …

The shape and function of plant cells are often highly interdependent. The puzzle-shaped
cells that appear in the epidermis of many plants are a striking example of a complex cell …

Coordination of cell division and pattern formation is central to tissue and organ
development, particularly in plants where walls prevent cell migration. Auxin and cytokinin …
