Thin-plate spline analysis reveals that the anticlinal and outer periclinal walls of cotyledon pavement cells expand at different rates during lobe formation. Color overlay on the anticlinal wall shows anticlinal wall growth rate, whereas the mesh depicts growth of the outer periclinal wall, with color indicating growth rate and distortions indicating the directionality of growth. Dots represent fluorescent landmarks that were tracked over time. Days represent number of days after germination. Bar = 10 μm. (Adapted from Armour et al. [2015], Figure 3.)
