Understanding the mechanism by which patterned gene activity leads to mechanical
deformation of cells and tissues to create complex forms is a major challenge for …

The decade since the publication of the third edition of this volume has been an era of great
progress in biology in general and the plant sciences in particular. This is especially true …

Tissue mechanics have been shown to play a key role in the regulation of morphogenesis in
animals [1–4] and may have an equally important role in plants [5–9]. The aerial organs of …

During growth and morphogenesis, plant cells respond to mechanical stresses resulting
from spatiotemporal changes in the cell wall that bear high internal turgor pressure …

Auxin has always been at the forefront of research in plant physiology and development.
Since the earliest contemplations by Julius von Sachs and Charles Darwin, more than a …

Plants maintain the ability to form lateral appendages throughout their life cycle and form
leaves as the principal lateral appendages of the stem. Leaves initiate at the peripheral zone …

Although it is a central question in biology, how cell shape controls intracellular dynamics
largely remains an open question. Here, we show that the shape of Arabidopsis pavement …

Mechanical signals play many roles in cell and developmental biology. Several
mechanotransduction pathways have been uncovered, but the mechanisms identified so far …

The presence of diffuse morphogen gradients in tissues supports a view in which growth is
locally homogenous. Here we challenge this view: we used a high-resolution quantitative …
