Feeling Stressed or Strained? A Biophysical Model for Cell Wall Mechanosensing in Plants

Mechanical signals have recently emerged as a major cue in plant morphogenesis, notably influencing cytoskeleton organization, gene expression, protein polarity, or cell division. Although many putative mechanosensing proteins have been identified, it is unclear what mechanical cue they might sense...
