Particle-based model shows complex rearrangement of tissue mechanical properties are needed for roots to grow in hard soil.
When exposed to increased mechanical resistance from the soil, plant roots display non-linear growth responses that cannot be solely explained by mechanical principles. Here, we aim to investigate how changes in tissue mechanical properties are biologically regulated in response to soil strength. A...
