Discussion

This review uncovers how mechanical stresses influence growth patterns in plant organs, suggesting tissue-specific impacts on development.

Mechanical interactions between tissue layers can lead to differing growth capacities and stress patterns.
The review highlights that understanding tissue mechanics is essential for deciphering organ development.
Tissue-specific elastic properties are critical in regulating how stress affects growth in stems, roots, and leaves.
Insight into these mechanical factors could advance knowledge in plant development and agricultural practices.

Lapointe et al. (2025) studied this question.
