Fifty shapes of maize

If you have a question about this talk, please contact Megan Cooper.

Real plant cells come in all shapes and sizes. But what governs shape formation? What function do the cell shapes have? My research tries to answer these questions from a mathematical-physical perspective, using maize as a model system. During my talk we will explore how the shape of the epidermal cells varies during growth, identify the best mathematical descriptors for quantifying cell shapes and discuss a number of experiments that help verifying hypotheses about formation and function.
