Embodied mechanical sensing through self-generated motion in climbing plants

Amir Ohad, Amir Porat, Yasmine Meroz

This study shows how climbing plants use self-generated motion and mechanical properties to detect and respond to environmental supports.

Nonlinear distributed sensing of light patterns leads to perceptual distortions in plants

Ahron Kempinski, Amir Porat, Mathieu Rivière, Yasmine Meroz

The paper develops a model of distributed light sensing in plants that predicts perceptual distortions due to nonlinear signal integration, validated through experiments on sunflower seedlings.

Robust Organ Shape During Growth Requires Local Morphogen Signaling and Global Curvature Feedback

Kristoffer Jonsson, Amir Porat, Viraj Alimchandani…·Anne‐Lise Routier‐Kierzkowska

The paper studies how apical hook curvature in plants is maintained through local morphogen signaling and global curvature feedback during growth.

Understanding Shape and Residual Stress Dynamics in Rod-Like Plant Organs

The paper develops a theoretical framework to link residual stresses in plant organs to their shape dynamics and shows how tissue incompatibilities can lead to specific growth phenomena.
