Shape growth occurs on many scales because of actions on each scale
Understanding any given scale is not enough to explain the whole

Biophysics of plant cell growth
Cells grow and change shape by altering 2 parameters:
Changes in internal cell pressure
Changes in wall mechanicsAnisotropyElasticityViscosity

The plant cell wall is a complex biological composite

Cell wall structure will change dynamically by alteration and addition of new material

If not pectin, then who?
• Developing better testing/modelling methods for viscoelasticity (hemicellulose? expansins?)
• Immunolocalizations for chemical changes in the cell wall
• RNA profiling of transcripts associated with growth changes
We do not know yet…….

What’s going on under there?
Pectin‐based cell wall softening to control growth magnitude
Wall mechanical asymmetry occurs before MT orientation
MT reorient and provide material anisotropy for extreme growth Exposure to light quickly
effects elasticity of the cell wall to halt expansion
Viscoelasticity? Hemicellulose?
So far, all of our information pertains to the epidermis……is that enough?
