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

Fig 6

Local domain formation is much less pronounced in arrays obtained through LDD than through GDD and ISO nucleation modes.

Snapshot at s (8 h, 20 min) of the microtubule array in a periodic square simulation domain of m² for (A) LDD: S₂ = 0.90, G = −0.19, (B) GDD: S₂ = 0.90, G = −0.19, and (C) ISO: S₂ = 0.84, G = −0.14. Different colours corresponds to different orientations for a microtubule or a bundle: warm colours correspond to transverse and cool colours to longitudinal orientations.
