Mechanical Stress Initiates and Sustains the Morphogenesis of Wavy Leaf Epidermal Cells
Summary: Pavement cells form wavy interlocking patterns in the leaf epidermis of many plants. We use computational mechanics to simulate the morphogenetic process based on microtubule organization and cell wall chemistry. Based on the in silico simulations and experimental evidence, we suggest that...
