Schematic of the cytoskeletal mechanisms underlying bottle cell apical constriction, as described20, 24. Actomyosin contractility is the main driving force, but endocytosis is also required for efficient constriction later in the process. Adherens junctions have not been directly implicated, but are drawn in at their presumed subcellular location.
