Mechanical control of morphogenesis at the shoot apex

摘要: Morphogenesis does not just require the correct expression of patterning genes; these genes must induce precise mechanical changes necessary to produce a new form. Mechanical characterization plant growth is new; however, in recent years, technologies and interdisciplinary collaborations have made it feasible young tissues such as shoot apex. Analysis where active developmental are taking place has revealed biologically significant variability properties even suggested that tissue can feed back direct morphogenesis. Here, an overview given current understanding dynamics its influence on cellular processes We only starting uncover basis morphogenesis, many exciting questions remain be answered.
