Morphogenesis in living organisms relies on the integration of both biochemical and
mechanical signals. During the last decade, attention has been mainly focused on the role of …

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 …

The past decades have seen a rapid increase in the understanding of plant morphogenesis
at the molecular-genetic level. However, the control of growth and morphogenesis by …

The link between genetic regulation and the definition of form and size during
morphogenesis remains largely an open question in both plant and animal biology. This is …

The definition of shape in multicellular organisms is a major issue of developmental biology.
It is well established that morphogenesis relies on genetic regulation. However, cells …

The wall surrounding plant cells provides protection from abiotic and biotic stresses, and
support through the action of turgor pressure. However, the presence of this strong elastic …

Morphogenesis does not just require the correct expression of patterning genes; these
genes must induce the precise mechanical changes necessary to produce a new form …

Morphogenesis, the remarkable process by which a developing organism achieves its
shape, relies on the coordinated growth of cells, tissues, and organs. While the molecular …

Plant organs arise through complex interactions between biological and physical factors that
control morphogenesis. While there has been tremendous progress in the understanding of …
