Major improvements in crop yield are needed to keep pace with population growth and
climate change. While plant breeding efforts have greatly benefited from advances in …

Growth is a widely used term in plant science and ecology, but it can have different
meanings depending on the context and the spatiotemporal scale of analysis. At the …

Cellular microstructures form naturally in many living organisms (eg, flowers and leaves) to
provide vital functions in synthesis, transport of nutrients, and regulation of growth. Although …

Plants are sessile and have to cope with environmentally induced damage through
modification of growth and defense pathways. How tissue regeneration is triggered in such …

During development, mechanical forces cause changes in size, shape, number, position,
and gene expression of cells. They are therefore integral to any morphogenetic processes …

Morphogenesis emerges from complex multiscale interactions between genetic and
mechanical processes. To understand these processes, the evolution of cell shape …

Morphogenesis emerges from complex multiscale interactions between genetic and
mechanical processes. To understand these processes, the evolution of cell shape …

The seminal observation that mechanical signals can elicit changes in biochemical
signalling within cells, a process commonly termed mechanosensation and …

Positional information is a central concept in developmental biology. In developing organs,
positional information can be idealized as a local coordinate system that arises from …

The development of plant leaves follows a common basic program that is flexible and is
adjusted according to species, developmental stage and environmental circumstances …
