The growth of walled cells is due to the cooperation of physical and chemical mechanisms leading to the controlled mechanical deformation of the cells. Plant cells, for example, need to expand the surface area of their cell wall in order to grow in size. This can be done in a uniform manner called diffusive growth or through tip-growth. Tip-growth is characterised by a mechanical deformation that is confined to a specific region of the cell wall, namely its tip. Tip-growth generally leads to tubular cell wall shapes and has been observed in plant cells such as pollen tubes and root hairs but also in fungal hyphae, algae and neuronal growth cones. The pollen tube is a protuberance growing on the pollen grain. As part of ...
