Thus, understanding the determinants of the tissue-wide changes imposed by cell division is a key question in developmental biology. Here, we use a network representation of live cell imaging data from shoot apical meristems (SAMs) in Arabidopsis thaliana to predict cell division events and their consequences at the tissue level. We show that a support vector machine classifier based on the SAM network properties is predictive of cell division events, with test accuracy of 76%, which matches that based on cell size alone. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the combination of topological and biological properties, including cell size, perimeter, distance and shared cell wall between cells, can further boost the prediction accuracy of resulting changes in topology triggered by cell division. Using our classifiers, we demonstrate the importance of microtubule-mediated cell-to-cell growth coordination in influencing tissue-level topology. Together, the results from our network-based analysis demonstrate a feedback mechanism between tissue topology and cell division in A. thaliana SAMs. KW - Arabidopsis thaliana KW - cell division KW - classification models KW - networks KW - shoot apical meristem KW - topology Y1 - 2022 U6 - https://doi.org/10.1242/dev.201024 SN - 0950-1991 SN - 1477-9129 VL - 149 IS - 16 PB - Company of Biologists CY - Cambridge ER - TY - JOUR A1 - Klein, Florian A1 - Feldhahn, Niklas A1 - Harder, S.
