Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of Cell Division and Elongation Underlying the Developmental Acceleration of Root Growth in Arabidopsis thaliana
TL;DR: The results highlight the importance of controlling the number of dividing cells, both to generate tissues with different cell lengths and to regulate the rate of organ enlargement, in the regulation of organ growth rate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Anisotropic expansion of the plant cell wall
TL;DR: It is hypothesize that rates of expansion in maximal and minimal directions are regulated by distinct molecular mechanisms that regulate interactions between matrix and microfibrils.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the alignment of cellulose microfibrils by cortical microtubules: a review and a model.
TL;DR: A model is presented that postulates that the nascent microfibril is incorporated into the cell wall by binding to a scaffold that is oriented; further, the scaffold is built and oriented around either already incorporatedmicrofibrils or plasma membrane proteins, or both.
Journal ArticleDOI
COBRA encodes a putative GPI-anchored protein, which is polarly localized and necessary for oriented cell expansion in Arabidopsis

TL;DR: Mutations in the COBRA (COB) gene of Arabidopsis, known to affect the orientation of cell expansion in theroot, are reported here to reduce the amount of crystalline cellulose in cell walls in the root growth zone.
Journal ArticleDOI
COBRA, an Arabidopsis Extracellular Glycosyl-Phosphatidyl Inositol-Anchored Protein, Specifically Controls Highly Anisotropic Expansion through Its Involvement in Cellulose Microfibril Orientation
Francois Roudier,Anita G. Fernandez,Machiko Fujita,Machiko Fujita,Regina Himmelspach,Georg H. H. Borner,Gary Schindelman,Shuang Song,Tobias I. Baskin,Paul Dupree,Geoffrey O. Wasteneys,Geoffrey O. Wasteneys,Philip N. Benfey +12 more
TL;DR: Characterization of a null allele, cob-4, establishes the key role of COB in controlling anisotropic expansion in most developing organs and suggests that COB, through its involvement in cellulose microfibril orientation, is an essential factor in highly anisotrop expansion during plant morphogenesis.
