Abstract excerpt
In animal single cells in culture, nuclear geometry and stiffness can be affected by mechanical cues, with important consequences for chromatin status and gene expression. This calls for additional investigation into the corresponding physiological relevance in a multicellular context and in different mechanical environments. Using the Arabidopsis root as a model system, and combining morphometry and...
