Conflicting roles of cell geometry, microtubule deflection, and orientation-dependent dynamic instability in cortical array organization

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Volume 122, number 37, September 2025.
Significantly the organization of microtubule polymers (MT) in parallel networks along the two -dimensional cortex of plant cells is crucial for the growth of directional cells and the development of plants. Despite decades of experimentation and a more recent calculation …
