- Title
Plant Biomechanics—A Natural Transition from Molecular to Organ Scale.
- Authors
Kwiatkowska, Dorota; Burian, Agata
- Abstract
Because tissues within the organ differ in cell size and cell wall stiffness, this pressurization leads to different stresses in different organ portions. Bold et al. [[12]] performed detailed anatomical analyses and comprehensive mechanical tests at the scales of cell (single fiber), tissue, and tissue complex (whole bark). Also, in the case of plant organs, the prestress, referred to as tissue stress or tensegrity at the organ scale, improves their mechanical performance [[2]]. Plants are multicellular organisms of a unique structure because their tissues consist of two interwoven networks: a network of interconnected protoplasts that is embedded in a network of tightly joined cell walls.
