[HTML][HTML] Mechanical stress acts via katanin to amplify differences in growth rate between adjacent cells in Arabidopsis
The presence of diffuse morphogen gradients in tissues supports a view in which growth is
locally homogenous. Here we challenge this view: we used a high-resolution quantitative …
