Regular Mechanical Stimuli Enhanced Tolerance to Salinity Stress in Glycine max L. Seedlings
Journal of Tropical Life Science, 2023 Regular touch treatment leads to plant adaptations that enhances mechanical strength. In many crop plants these adaptations result in cross-tolerance to biotic stress caused by bacterial or fungal infection and abiotic stress conditions like salinity or ...

Systems biology and mechanics of growth [PDF]
WIREs Systems Biology and Medicine, 2015 In contrast to inert systems, living biological systems have the advantage to adapt to their environment through growth and evolution. This transfiguration is evident during embryonic development, when the predisposed need to grow allows form to follow function.
