“…Therefore, the actin-based control of cell boundary dynamics is indirect, and the actin cytoskeleton influences cell shape change, in part, by actin and/or myosin-dependent trafficking of hormone transporters (Geldner et al, 2001) and organelles (Prokhnevsky et al, 2008), including those that control the localized delivery of protein complexes and polysaccharides that pattern the cell wall (Leucci et al, 2007;Gutierrez et al, 2009). In this scheme for actin-based growth control, the actin network dynamically rearranges at spatial scales that span from approximately 1-to 10-mm subcellular domains that may locally position organelles (Cleary, 1995;Gibbon et al, 1999;Szymanski et al, 1999) to the more than 100-mm actin bundle networks that operate at the spatial scales of entire cells (Gutierrez et al, 2009;Dyachok et al, 2011). It is clear from the work of several laboratories that the W/SRC and ARP2/3 protein complexes are required to organize cortical actin and actin bundle networks in trichomes (Szymanski et al, 1999;Le et al, 2003;Deeks et al, 2004;Zhang et al, 2005) and cylindrical epidermal cells (Mathur et al, 2003b;Dyachok et al, 2008Dyachok et al, , 2011.…”
