Morphoelasticity in the development of brown alga Ectocarpus siliculosus: from cell rounding to branching

A biomechanical model is proposed for the growth of the brown alga Ectocarpus siliculosus. Featuring ramified uniseriate filaments, this alga has two modes of growth: apical growth and intercalary growth with branching. Apical growth occurs upon the mitosis of a young cell at one extremity and leads...
