Physical Forces Regulate Plant Development and Morphogenesis
Plant cells in tissues experience mechanical stress not only as a result of high turgor, but also through interaction with their neighbors. Cells can expand at different rates and in different directions from neighbors with which they share a cell wall. This in connection with specific tissue shapes and properties of the cell wall material can lead to intricate stress patterns throughout the ti...
متن کاملThe role of mechanical forces in plant morphogenesis.
The shape of an organism relies on a complex network of genetic regulations and on the homeostasis and distribution of growth factors. In parallel to the molecular control of growth, shape changes also involve major changes in structure, which by definition depend on the laws of mechanics. Thus, to understand morphogenesis, scientists have turned to interdisciplinary approaches associating biol...
متن کاملMechanical forces in plant growth and development.
Plant cells perceive forces that arise from the environment and from the biophysics of plant growth. These forces provide meaningful cues that can affect the development of the plant. Seedlings of Arabidopsis thaliana were used to examine the cytoplasmic tensile character of cells that have been implicated in the gravitropic response. Laser-trapping technology revealed that the starch-containin...
متن کاملMicroRNAs Regulate Auxin Homeostasis and Plant Development
The phytohormone auxin (principally indole-3-acetic acid [IAA]) is a key regulator of cell expansion and division that plays numerous roles in plant growth and development, including stem elongation, phototropic and gravitropic responses, apical dominance, and lateral and adventitious root formation. Auxin can stimulate or inhibit cell growth depending on its concentration and location within t...
متن کاملPrimary Cilia Regulate Branching Morphogenesis during Mammary Gland Development
During mammary gland development, an epithelial bud undergoes branching morphogenesis to expand into a continuous tree-like network of branched ducts [1]. The process involves multiple cell types that are coordinated by hormones and growth factors coupled with signaling events including Wnt and Hedgehog [2-5]. Primary cilia play key roles in the development of many organs by coordinating extrac...
