Plant growth occurs through the coordinated expansion of tightly adherent cells, driven by regulated softening of cell walls. It is an intrinsically multiscale process, with the integrated properties of multiple cell walls shaping the whole tissue. Multiscale models encode physical relationships to bring new understanding to plant physiology and development.
植物生长通过紧密相连的细胞的协同扩张而发生,这一过程由细胞壁的调控软化驱动。它是一个本质上的多尺度过程,多个细胞壁的综合特性塑造了整个组织。多尺度模型编码物理关系,为植物生理学和发育带来新的理解。
