This project investigates the signaling networks and mechanical constraints that influence the shape of epidermal pavement cells in plants. Using the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana, it aims to understand how inner mesophyll cells affect tissue integrity, which is vital for developing stress-resilient plants.
In plants, the outermost epidermal cell layer is critical for protecting the entire plant against external threats such as rain, wind and pathogens.
The plant epidermis is a complex tissue consisting of multiple cell types, all with different shapes, functions and developmental trajectories.
Although studied in isolation, our understanding of how these cells interact to ensure tissue integrity is poor, but at present, the outermost jigsaw-puzzle-shaped pavement cells have emerged as key players.…
