Gelatinous fibers develop asymmetrically to support bends and coils in common bean vines (<i>Phaseolus vulgaris</i>)
Our spatiotemporal results indicate that common bean vines form G-fibers after an internode has fully elongated and becomes stationary, thus functioning to stabilize the posture of subtle bends and coil internodes. These results contribute to understanding how twining vines establish and maintain a grip on their host or supporting structure.
