Dissecting the molecular mechanism underlying the intimate relationship between cellulose microfibrils and cortical microtubules
A central question in plant cell development is how the cell wall determines directional cell expansion and therefore the final shape of the cell. As the major load-bearing component of the cell wall, cellulose microfibrils are laid down transversely to the axis of elongation, thus forming a spring-...
