Control of plant organ growth linked to cell division orientation in inner tissues.

Abstract excerpt

There is a dominant view that plants are shaped by the ability of their outermost cell layers to resist or yield to pressure from internal tissues. During stem development, outer tissues originate from the tunica layers of the shoot meristem, while inner tissues are produced by the rib zone (RZ), named after its distinctive pattern of transverse cell divisions. Despite over a century of studies, the interplay...
