Leaf cell expansion in cereals
Treatments that affect leaf growth must do so through biophysical means at the cell level. Fricke (pp. 157-167) examines the growth zone of grass leaves, and proposes that the rate of water supply to peripheral cells is a likely candidate to limit growth. Bundle sheaths and aquaporin function have a key role in controlling this flow.
