Fluids as Dynamic Templates for Cytoskeletal Proteins in Plant Cells
J.T. Lofthouse
TL;DR
This paper extends the Dynamic Template model to plant cells, proposing a shear-driven mechanism for fiber alignment during growth and responses, highlighting the role of fluid layers in cytoskeletal organization.
Contribution
It introduces a novel application of the Dynamic Template model to plant cells, explaining fiber co-alignment through fluid dynamics during growth.
Findings
Fluid layers facilitate fiber co-alignment in plant cells.
Shear forces drive cytoskeletal organization during growth.
Model explains observed fiber arrangements in response to stimuli.
Abstract
The Dynamic Template model of biological cell membranes and the cytoplasm as spatially organised fluid layers is extended to plant cells, and is shown to offer a feasible shear driven mechanism for the co-alignment of internal and external fibres observed during growth and tropic responses
