Ethylene modulates cell wall mechanics for root responses to compaction - Nature Soil compaction traps ethylene around roots, which causes transcriptional upregulation of Auxin Response Factor1, resulting in decreased root cortical cell wall thickness and thereby promoting root ra...

Thrilled to have contributed to this @nature.com study on ethylene and cell wall mechanics in root compaction responses!! — Featuring Jiao Zhang, Lucas Peralta Ogorek, @borgesaugust.bsky.social , Bipin Pandey, Staffan Persson, Wanqi Zhang, Malcolm Bennett & more!!

Mechanical forces can affect the way tissue grows. Ideally, we want to characterize them without interfering with the processes we are studying. Is there a way to achieve this?

Can we use morphology and dynamics to understand the mechanical state of tissues better?
