Novel biological insights revealed from cell type-specific expression profiling.

abstract：:Plants use robust mechanisms to optimize organ size to prevailing conditions. Modulating the transition from cell division to elongation dramatically affects morphology and size. Although it is well established that auxin, cytokinin and brassinosteroid mediate these transitions, recent works show that the cytoskeleton...
