Cortical microtubules and physical properties of cellulose microfibrils during primary cell wall formation in Arabidopsis thaliana

Growth anisotropy, in which cells grow predominantly in one direction, is common in plant cells, and an essential event for plant form and function. The direction and degree of growth anisotropy are governed by the mechanical properties of the primary cell wall. When aligned in a parallel manner,...
