Pattern formation is a fundamental element of many processes in developmental biology. One example is the self-organization of microtubules (MTs) along the inner surface (cortex) of the plant cell membrane. MTs are dynamic polymers found within many...

The self-organization of ordered cortical microtubule arrays plays an important role in the development of plant cells.This is observed to emerge from a combination various factors such as microtubule-microtubule interactions, nucleation, and...
