A Theoretical Model of Jigsaw-Puzzle Pattern Formation by Plant Leaf Epidermal Cells

Effects of cellulose degradation on cell wall interdigitation.
(a) The rsw2/kor1 mutant displayed less curvature. Scale bars = 50 μm. (b) Effects of cellulase treatment on curvature formation. Curvature formation was also inhibited. Scale bars = 50 μm. (c) A numerical simulation of the model with a different range of action of signaling molecule. Less interdigitation occurred when the signaling molecule range of action increased, which is consistent with experimental observations.
