Mechanical Conflicts in Twisting Growth Revealed by Cell-Cell Adhesion Defects

Many plants grow organs and tissues with twisted shapes. Arabidopsis mutants with impaired microtubule dynamics exhibit such a phenotype constitutively. Although the activity of the corresponding microtubule regulators is better understood at the molecular level, how large-scale twisting can emerge...
