This paper introduces an open-source, low-cost device for applying precise mechanical stimuli to plant cells, enabling studies of mechanobiology.

This study shows that maternal tissues guide the orientation of the Ceratopteris embryo axis, aligning its root pole toward maternal rhizoids, promoting progeny establishment through a nurturing strategy.

This study compares auxin responses in the gametophyte and sporophyte of the fern Ceratopteris richardii, finding that ontogeny, not phylogeny, determines auxin response properties.
