Abstract excerpt
Regulation of cell expansion is essential to the formation of plant organs. We have characterized 21 mutations, representing six loci, that cause abnormal cell expansion in the root of Arabidopsis thaliana. The phenotype of these mutants is conditional upon the rate of root growth. Calculation of cell volumes indicated that the mutations resulted in defects in either the orientation or the extent of expansion or...
