Abstrakt: Summary InZinnia suspension cultures, two general categories of tracheary element (TE) secondary wall patterns can be distinguished: bands and webs. Band patterns are found in elongated cells or regions of cells, web patterns in isodiametric cells or regions of cells. Interphase cortical microtubule arrays, organized before overt differentiation occurs, determine both the shape of the cell and whether band or web patterns will be deposited at the time of TE formation. By altering cell shape and consequently also altering the interphase microtubule array, it is possible to control the type of wall pattern which is deposited.
