How do plant organs stay smooth—or become wrinkled? 🌱 Our paper in @CurrentBiology shows how coordinated growth direction and mechanical properties across cell layers determine whether Arabidopsis sepals remain smooth or buckle.

@opendesciorg@CurrentBiology We have another recent paper about leaves buckling due to uneven growth across the width of the leaf: https://t.co/UcghPPRt4G

@opendesciorg@CurrentBiology These principles should hold to other plant organs. The constraints of the edges of the organ are likely to be important. kanadi1/2 double mutant leaves appear to have similar buckles. However, there are additional ways that plant organs can buckle if growth is uncoordinated.
The Cornell Chronicle highlighted our recent Current Biology paper, showing how cell growth and tissue mechanics work together to shape developing sepals—and how these principles could help engineer living materials. https://t.co/mJiveZcPRm
Deeply saddened by the passing of Meng. Heartbroken to lose a candid, generous friend and colleague. Plant science lost a brilliant mind, but I will remember Meng as a kind soul who inspired those around him. Rest in peace. You are sorely missed. 💔
Plant cells have their own language, & #HHMIInvestigator Keiko Torii has spent 30 yrs decoding it. Her team's new work on the signals guiding stomatal development — & how plants balance that with pathogen defense — could help develop more resilient crops: https://t.co/0b3sQnyBi3
@kalikapg provides insights into how plants rebuild form by combining molecular genetics, biochemistry, genomics, live imaging & computational modelling research to uncover how cells integrate biochemical, mechanical & geometric inputs.

How does a growing leaf stay flat? 🍃
Our new paper in @PLOSBiology shows that maintaining leaf flatness requires growth-rate coordination across the width of the leaf blade—not just between the top and bottom surfaces. https://t.co/fBtsfBu5Nq
Latest episode of #No_Time_To_Read podcast!
I had a wonderful discussion with Avilash @Morpholosophist about his recent @CurrentBiology article.
Avilash just started his new role as an Assistant Professor this month. Congratulations!

Special thanks to my postdoctoral mentor @RoederLab, Lilan Hong and all the co-authors!
Four billion years ago, Earth was a sterile rock. Today it is teeming with life, from simple microbes to extraordinarily complex societies that span the globe.
How does that happen? I'm writing a book about the answer: Life Unbounded, from Quanta Books.
