    Abstract:
    Apical hook opening is crucial for seedling establishment and is regulated by unequal distribution of the hormone auxin through unknown mechanisms. In this issue of Developmental Cell, Walia et al.4 demonstrate that apical hook opening is an output of tissue-wide forces; auxin and cell wall integrity (CWI) signaling interact to restrict elongation to the concave side of the apical hook.
