Agent-based simulation of cortical microtubule band movement in arabidopsis zygotes
The CMT band moves upward with a speed of 1.5 ± 1.2 μm/hour and a width of 5.2 ± 2.4 μm
To determine the mechanism by which the CMT band moves to maintain its position as the zygote expands, we first quantified the width and movement…
