BIOPHYSICAL MODELING OF TIP GROWTH IN THE FILAMENTOUS BROWN ALGA ECTOCARPUS

Ectocarpus is a filamentous brown alga in which development is initiated by tip growth, a cellular process encountered in fungal hyphae and land plant pollen tubes and root hairs. Here, an abstract of a study by Charrier et al on using a viscoplastic biophysical model (initially developed for root h...

Description
Summary:	Ectocarpus is a filamentous brown alga in which development is initiated by tip growth, a cellular process encountered in fungal hyphae and land plant pollen tubes and root hairs. Here, an abstract of a study by Charrier et al on using a viscoplastic biophysical model (initially developed for root hairs) to numerically simulate tip growth in this alga is presented.
