Edge-based mechanisms coordinating cell wall assembly during plant morphogenesis
A fundamental question in biology is how multicellular organisms robustly produce organ shapes. The underlying process of morphogenesis involves the integration of biochemical, genetic, and mechanical factors across multiple spatio-temporal scales. In plants, morphogenesis is dominated by the rigid cell wall, which fixes cells in their position. Adjacent cells must therefore coordinate their growth patterns, which are in turn controlled by the mechanical properties of the cell wall. Cell walls are assembled by a complex intracellular trafficking machinery that delivers cell wall components and their associated biosynthetic machinery to different subcellular regions. Based on our recent…
