Abstract excerpt

The unicellular three-branched trichomes, or 'hairs', of Arabidopsis provide a model system for studying cell morphogenesis in plants. Recent results, including the characterization of a newly identified mutant with multicellular trichomes, have led to a new view of how trichome morphogenesis might be controlled.
