The plant cell wall is composed of multiple biopolymers, representing one of the most
complex structural networks in nature. Hundreds of genes are involved in building such a …

Plant architecture fundamentally differs from that of other multicellular organisms in that
individual cells serve as osmotic bricks, defined by the equilibrium between the internal …

Plants as immovable organisms sense the stressors in their environment and respond to
them by means of dedicated stress response pathways. In response to stress, jasmonates …

Plants have evolved a repertoire of monitoring systems to sense plant morphogenesis and
to face environmental changes and threats caused by different attackers. These systems …

Cell walls are highly dynamic structures that provide mechanical support for plant cells
during growth, development and adaptation to a changing environment. Thus, it is important …

Mechanically activated (MA) ion channels convert physical forces into electrical signals, and
are essential for eukaryotic physiology. Despite their importance, few bona-fide MA …

The structural and functional integrity of the cell wall needs to be constantly monitored and
fine‐tuned to allow for growth while preventing mechanical failure. Many studies have …

During growth and morphogenesis, plant cells respond to mechanical stresses resulting
from spatiotemporal changes in the cell wall that bear high internal turgor pressure …

Cell walls surround all plant cells, and their composition and structure are modified in a
tightly controlled, adaptive manner to meet sometimes opposing functional requirements …
