Sympathy and similarity : The evolutionary dynamics of cooperation

thaliana results in a froth-like cellular structure. In plants, the resistance of the cell wall to internal turgor pressure helps shape the cells and the tissues, providing plant rigidity and helping it stand erect. Oryzalin depolymerizes microtubules in the growing shoot apical meristem of A. thaliana, resulting in isotropic growth as the cell walls yield under turgor pressure.
