Plant performance involves physical processes - from mechanical load bearing and water transport to heat, light, and gas diffusion. Finite-element modeling combined with microCT-imaging allows linking cell-scale architectural details to organ-scale function. Review article: doi.org/10.1111/tpj....
MicroCT image of a section of leaf mesophyll reconstructed in 3D and converted to a finite element model that allows simulating the distribution of forces upon external load application.

Why do primary plant tissues hold their shape? We are told it's because of turgor pressure—but how does that work mechanically? We investigated how pressurized cylindrical structures support themselves. Read here: doi.org/10.1039/d6sm... Funded by @hfspo.bsky.social www.plantbiomechanics.net

A movie that starts with 'Why is there an atomic resolution scanning electron microscope?' has to be good - and it is indeed #amaze! Drama, humor, some science (see book for much more!), great effects, emotions, and also this gasp-inducing scene (Scientists - cover your eyes). #ProjectHailMary
Speedvac (table centrifuge) in which two sample tubes are mounted next to each other rather than on opposing sides which would be required for balancing.

The maintenance of plant cell wall integrity involves complex molecular interactions. In this review, preetmanchanda.bsky.social summarizes the pivotal roles of RALF, LRX, and FERONIA as well as their interactions in different cell and tissue systems. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
