Abstract
Asymmetric cell shape depends on the ability of oriented layers of cellulose microfibrils to channel the nondirectional drive of turgor pressure. Tough microfibrils encircling the cell resist increases in girth and redirect the swelling force to a direction perpendicular to the alignment of the
