Mechanical forces during protoplast regeneration
We aim to understand how physical forces guide the change of cell identity, interplay with cell division and eventually support the forming of new... -
Mechanical control of plant tissue engineering
In this project, we are figuring out what those 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...
