Long-term single-cell imaging and simulations of microtubules reveal principles behind wall patterning during proto-xylem development

Plant cell wall formation is directed by cortical microtubules, which produce complex patterns needed to support xylem vessels. Here, the authors perform live-cell imaging and simulations of Arabidopsis cells during proto-xylem differentiation to show how local microtubule dynamics control pattern f...
