Abstract
As the multinet growth hypothesis still attracts much attention and support, it seems desirable to reconsider the observations and deductions on microfibril arrangements in tip growth of cells, which led to Roelofsen and Houwink’s (1953) formulation of MGH, to explain variations in microfibril orientation at different positions in the thickness of the cell wall.
