Growth couples temporal and spatial fluctuations of tissue properties during morphogenesis

The paper investigates spatiotemporal fluctuations in plant tissue growth, showing that growth couples temporal and spatial variations through a mechanism called fluctuation stretching.

Assessing the hydromechanical control of plant growth

This study investigates the hydromechanical factors controlling plant growth by measuring growth rates, elasticity, and hydraulic conductivity in Marchantia polymorpha using a microfluidic device.

Heterogeneous identity, stiffness and growth characterise the shoot apex of Arabidopsis stem cell mutants

The paper investigates clavata mutant shoot apices in Arabidopsis, finding mechanical and functional heterogeneities that contribute to meristem overgrowth and buckling.

Cell Wall Dynamics in a Filamentous Fungus

The paper studies cell wall dynamics in Aspergillus nidulans using sub-resolution imaging and develops a mechanical model to explain how secretion and expansion balance to support tip growth and morphogenesis.

Expression of cell-wall related genes is highly variable and correlates with sepal morphology

The paper analyzes gene expression and sepal morphology variation in Arabidopsis to identify gene regulatory networks involved in organ size and shape determination.

INTEGUMENT-SPECIFIC TRANSCRIPTIONAL REGULATION IN THE MID- STAGE OF FLAX SEED DEVELOPMENT INFLUENCES THE RELEASE OF MUCILAGE AND THE SEED OIL CONTENT

This study shows a positive link between seed oil production and mucilage extrusion in flax during mid-stage seed development through transcriptome analysis.

Dandelion pappus morphing is actuated by radially patterned material swelling

The paper identifies the mechanism of dandelion pappus closing through structural analysis and develops a computational model to simulate its function.

SYSTEMATIC MAPPING OF CELL WALL MECHANICS IN THE REGULATION OF CELL MORPHOGENESIS

The paper quantifies cell wall mechanics in fission yeast to show how wall stiffness scales with cell diameter and adapts to size changes.

Modulation of tissue growth heterogeneity by responses to mechanical stress

This study models tissue growth under mechanical stress and shows that mechanical responses can dampen growth fluctuations and reduce tissue heterogeneity.

MECHANOSENSATION DYNAMICALLY COORDINATES POLAR GROWTH AND CELL WALL ASSEMBLY TO PROMOTE CELL SURVIVAL

This study identifies a feedback mechanism that coordinates polar growth and cell wall assembly in fission yeast to maintain wall thickness and cell survival.

The self-organization of plant microtubules in three dimensions enables stable cortical localization and sensitivity to external cues

The paper shows that plant cortical microtubules self-organize into stable configurations in 3D space, adapting to cell shape and responding to external cues.
