Microtubule-based nucleation results in a large sensitivity to cell geometry of the plant cortical array

Fig 3

LDD nucleation maintains the alignment promoting effect of microtubule-based nucleation

as previously reported for GDD. Aligned regime for LDD, GDD, and ISO nucleation modes on a 4040 μm² square periodic geometry. (A) Median over 100 independent simulation runs of the order parameter S₂ as function of the control parameter G at s (8 h, 20 min). Data points marked as larger, empty circle, square, or triangle correspond to the parameter values used for panel (B). (B) Median over 100 independent simulation runs of the order parameter S₂ as a function of the simulation time for selected values of G (data points marked with large symbols in panel (A)) in the aligned regime. Error bars of (A) can be found in S1 Fig.
