In plants, one of the most understated developmental phenomena is that of straightness - a root will grow down, a petal will grow flat. A new mutant in Arabidopsis thaliana that displays twisting in petals and roots, at the organ and cell level, has been investigated. Strikingly, the twisting is always left-handed and is not due to underlying cytoskeletal skewing, as is the case in other known, phenotypically similar, mutants.
