Mechanistic Insights into Plant Chiral Growth

The latent left–right asymmetry (chirality) of vascular plants is best witnessed as a helical elongation of cylindrical organs in climbing plants. Interestingly, helical handedness is usually fixed in given species, suggesting genetic control of chirality. <i>Arabidopsis thaliana</i>, a...
