COVER Finite element method simulation of an Arabidopsis shoot apical meristem where two cells have been laser-ablated. The color map indicates the von Mises stress (a measure of distortional stress); the white lines mark the directions of maximal principal stress, which are circumferential around the ablated cells, in agreement with experimentally determined microtubule orientations. See page 1650.
