Mechanical control of plant tissue engineering
In this project, we are figuring out what the mechanical requirements are and how we can apply and exploit them to engineer plant tissues in a petri... -
The mechanobiology of pollen penetration
Pollen grains deliver their sperm nuclei to the egg cells of the plant. To do so, the pollen grain grows a tube must pierce flower tissues. In this... -
Mechanosensitive molecular probes for plant mechanobiology
Plants are under constant mechanical stress, both from within and from their environment. The role of this stress on plant development is not fully... -
How plants feel the force
In this project, we will decipher the plant mechanostat by establishing the quantitative connections between mechanical stress and gene expression. We... -
Smart separations with ionic liquids
Room temperature ionic liquids are an interesting class of materials as these have a solubility gap with most of the liquids we commonly use, such or...
