I felt several of the arguments advanced by Agrawal were rather weak and was glad to have the opportunity to write a rejoinder which has now been published in the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cell.com\/trends\/plant-science\/issue?pii=S1360-1385%2814%29X0004-X\">April edition<\/a> of the same journal.

From home, outside the privilege of my university\u2019s subscription access, I was to be able to download it via the PDF link on the table of contents, but the situation seems a little confused because after clicking the \u2018Full-text HTML\u2019 link, I ran straight into the paywall at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S1360138514000600\">Science Direct<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>I imagine others may be experiencing similar difficulties or confusion so, in the interests of furthering the discussion, I am posting the author accepted manuscript here (<a href=\"https:\/\/dl.dropboxusercontent.com\/u\/4398178\/Reciprocal%20Space%20Files\/140402-TIPS-OA-Curry_AAM.pdf\">PDF<\/a>).
