Investigation of the role of cell-cell interactions in division plane determination during maize leaf development through mosaic analysis of the tangled mutation.

Abstract excerpt

Most plant cells divide in planes that can be predicted from their shapes according to simple geometrical rules, but the division planes of some cells appear to be influenced by extracellular cues. In the maize leaf, some cells divide in orientations not predicted by their shapes, raising the possibility that cell-cell communication plays a role in division plane determination in this tissue. We investigated this...
