Mechanical stimuli, such as touch, bending, gravity, and wounding, influence plant growth and development through the activation of intracellular signaling pathways and gene expression. Therefore, mechanosensing and mechanotransduction are of vital importance and have been attracting the attention of many plant scientists for nearly 150 years. Based on recent molecular and cellular approaches, candidates for mechanosensors have been discovered. These include mechanosensitive (MS) channels, such as MscS-like (MSL) proteins,mid1-complementing activities (MCAs), and reduced hyperosmolality-induced [Ca2+]iincrease 1 (OSCA1), which generate intracellular ionic signals and receptor-like kinases that trigger the activation of regulatory proteins or enzymes, including Ca2+-binding proteins, protein kinases, protein phosphatases, and transcription factors. Other possible groups of mechanosensors are intracellular filamentous structures in the cytoskeleton, such as microtubules and actin filaments, which may directly act as sensors for the deformation of intracellular structures. In this chapter, we discuss the mechanisms by which plants sense and respond to mechanical stimuli by focusing on mechanosensors along with their downstream signaling molecules, such as auxin and reactive oxygen species (ROS).
