Protoxylem microtubule patterning requires ROP pattern co-alignment, realistic microtubule-based nucleation, and sufficient microtubule flexibility.

This study identifies the requirements for protoxylem microtubule band formation using simulations, showing that flexibility, ROP co-alignment, and microtubule-based nucleation are essential.

Microtubule-based nucleation results in a large sensitivity to cell geometry of the plant cortical array

The paper demonstrates that microtubule-based nucleation increases sensitivity to cell geometry in plant cortical arrays, leading to preferred transverse alignment in cylindrical cells.

Evolution from mixed to fixed handedness in mirror-image flowers: insights from adaptive dynamics

This paper models the evolutionary transition from monomorphic to dimorphic enantiostyly in flowers, showing conditions under which dimorphism arises and may revert.

Consequences of life-cycle complexity to the potential for evolutionary branching

This study investigates how complex life-cycles affect evolutionary branching potential in a consumer with two life-stages, finding that complexity can promote diversification and character displacement.

A plausible mechanism for longitudinal lock-in of cortical microtubule array after light-induced reorientation

The paper explains how a small orientation-dependent shift in microtubule dynamics stabilizes the longitudinal cortical microtubule array after light-induced reorientation.
