The article presents a research report on plant cell adhesion and growth on artificial fibrous scaffolds as an in vitro model for plant development. Topics include mechanistic studies of plant development would benefit from an in vitro model that mimics the endogenous physical interactions between cells and their microenvironment; and work establishes the first plant biomimetic scaffolds that will enable studies of how cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions affect plant developmental pathways.
