This study investigates the mechanical properties of Chara cell walls by removing calcium crosslinks or pectin, finding that pectin significantly affects strength, stiffness, and permeability.

The paper investigates the evolutionary origin of mechanical advantage in angiosperms, finding it present in all measured species including early diverging lineages.

The paper develops a time-dependent hydraulic model to study how plants respond to soil and atmospheric aridity, showing that stomatal conductance is influenced by both supply and demand-side water stress.

The paper examines how salt glands in plants reduce desalination energy costs by managing brine concentration and crack size to prevent dehydration.

This study develops a poroelastic framework to model hydromechanical signaling in plants, showing pressure changes and mass flow can transmit signals locally and systemically.

The paper shows that non-stomatal regulation of transpiration occurs due to reduced plasma membrane conductance in the outside-xylem zone under moderate xylem water stress.

The paper shows that Ohmic models of leaf gas exchange can produce biases in apparent undersaturation and CO2 gradient inversion due to stomatal patchiness and vascular partitioning.
