FIGURE 6.8
The differing effects of disrupting microfilaments and microtubules during development of
trichomes in A. thaliana. This diagram is based on the discussion in J. Mathur et al.

As I stated at the beginning of this chapter, our state of knowledge about morphogenesis in
plant cells is not yet at the stage that it is clear where control lies, and whether and how
processes such as adaptive self-organization are used to provide fine adjustments. The rapid
growth of plant molecular cell biology, particularly in A. thaliana, promises to rectify that situ-
ation very soon; indeed, by the time it is printed, this chapter will probably already be out of
date.
