Pectin homogalacturonan nanofilament expansion drives morphogenesis in plant epidermal cells

How plant cells expand and gain shape remains enigmatic. Current models consider that these processes are driven by turgor pressure acting upon the cell wall. Using nanoimaging, we show that the cell wall contains pectin nanofilaments that possess an intrinsic expansion capacity. We show, by growth...
