Cells tile a flat plane by controlling geometries during morphogenesis of Pyropia thalli

Background Pyropia haitanensis thalli, which are made of a single layer of polygonal cells, are a perfect model for studying the morphogenesis of multi-celled organisms because their cell proliferation process is an excellent example of the manner in which cells control their geometry to create a tw...
