Morphological instabilities and surface wrinkling of soft materials such as gels and biological
tissues are of growing interest to a number of academic disciplines including soft …

Plants produce a rich diversity of biological forms, and the diversity of leaves is especially
notable. Mechanisms of leaf morphogenesis have been studied in the past two decades …

This monograph presents a general mathematical theory for biological growth. It provides
both a conceptual and a technical foundation for the understanding and analysis of …

Morphogenesis during multicellular development is regulated by intercellular signaling
molecules as well as by the mechanical properties of individual cells. In particular, normal …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Spatial patterns of the hormone auxin are important drivers of plant development. The
observed feedback between the active, directed transport that generates auxin patterns and …

Flower morphology results from the interaction of an established genetic program, the
influence of external forces induced by pollination systems, and physical forces acting …

As our knowledge of the complexity of hormone homeostasis, transport, perception, and
response increases, and their outputs become less intuitive, modelling is set to become …
