Characterization of the control mechanisms on plane orientation of formative divisions during root branching. Ghent University
Because plant cells are immobile, they have to spatially control their divisions in order to establish the overall body plan of the plant. Control over the orientation of cell divisions is also crucial to generate new organs. This occurs via specialized divisions that are called formative divisions. These divisions are mostly asymmetric and lead to the formation of daughter cells with different cell fate. The very first step of lateral root ...
