Arabidopsis phyllotaxis is controlled by the methyl-esterification status of cell-wall pectins.

Current biology : CB - 23 Dec 2008

Abstract excerpt

Plant organs are produced from meristems in a characteristic pattern. This pattern, referred to as phyllotaxis, is thought to be generated by local gradients of an information molecule, auxin. Some studies propose a key role for the mechanical properties of the cell walls in the control of organ...
