Orientation of Wall Microfibril Deposition in Root Cells of Pisum sativum L. var Alaska

The arrangement of wall microfibrils on the inner surface of cortical cells in pea roots was observed by a replica method. In the elongating region, microfibrils were deposited transversely to the root axis. After cell elongation stopped, the orientation of microfibril deposition changed discontinuously from a transverse to an oblique one. The change occurred at 6–7 mm from the root tip. The oblique orientation seemed to change discontinuously to another oblique one as time passed.
