This paper identifies BpLAZY1A as a key gene regulating gravitropic signaling and tissue polarity in silver birch branches, linking gene expression asymmetry to biomechanical reinforcement and growth orientation.

This study shows mechanical cues trigger phellem differentiation in Arabidopsis roots during barrier transition.

The study identifies a mutant birch tree (Elimaki) with impaired proprioception and radial growth, linking mechanical stress response to cell wall properties and transcriptomic changes.
