This project investigates how plant cells grow and develop, focusing on the Arabidopsis thaliana root. It uses advanced imaging techniques to analyze cellular growth patterns and the effects of the hormone auxin, aiming to uncover the molecular mechanisms behind root development.
Plants differ strikingly from animals by the almost total absence of cell migration in their development.
Plants build their bodies using a hydrostatic skeleton that consists of pressurized cells encased by a cell wall.
Consequently, plant cells cannot migrate and must sculpture their bodies by orientation of cell division and precise regulation of cell growth.
Cell growth depends on the balance between internal cell pressure – turgor, and strength of the cell wall.
Cell growth is under a strict…
