Spatio-temporal orientation of microtubules controls conical cell shape in Arabidopsis thaliana petals.

The physiological functions of epidermal cells are largely determined by their diverse morphologies. Most flowering plants have special conical-shaped petal epidermal cells that are thought to influence light capture and reflectance, and provide pollinator grips, but the molecular mechanisms control...
