Research highlight

In plant deformation and movement, cellular-level changes are orchestrated and harmonized based on the tissue arrangement, resulting in dynamic shape changes at the organ level. Consequently, adopting a cross-hierarchical modeling approach is needed for comprehending the mechanism behind the deformation and movement of plant organs. Our current endeavor revolves around a data-driven strategy to obtain relevant quantitative data at various tiers and uncover the equations that delineate the interaction between these diverse scales in the context of cross-hierarchical modeling. Simultaneously, we are actively engaged in advancing experimental and analytical methods for automated acquisition of quantitative data.
