本书通过强调结构和功能之间的关系，提供了对植物运行原理的重要见解。它描述了与特定特征相关的结构和机械参数的定量确定，如组织的材料特性，如组织传导水或承受弯曲力的能力，这将使植物生物力学的高级分析成为可能。这一知识使研究人员能够了解植物器官在其生命周期和环境因素影响下发生的发育变化。
作者概述了植物结构和功能的现状，以及它们与生物体的机械行为之间的关系，例如植物在重力矢量作用下生长的能力或抵御风力的能力。它们还展示了在没有肌肉或细胞迁移的情况下，植物采用的复杂策略来影响器官运动和形态发生。
因此，这本书不仅吸引了目前在植物科学和生物物理学领域工作的科学家，也激励了后代在这一领域进行自己的研究。
This book provides important insights into the operating principles of plants by highlighting the relationship between structure and function. It describes the quantitative determination of structural and mechanical parameters, such as the material properties of a tissue, in correlation with specific features, such as the ability of the tissue to conduct water or withstand bending forces, which will allow advanced analysis in plant biomechanics. This knowledge enables researchers to understand the developmental changes that occur in plant organs over their life span and under the influence of environmental factors.
The authors provide an overview of the state of the art of plant structure and function and how they relate to the mechanical behavior of the organism, such as the ability of plants to grow against the gravity vector or to withstand the forces of wind. They also show the sophisticated strategies employed by plants to effect organ movement and morphogenesis in the absence of muscles or cellular migration.
As such, this book not only appeals to scientists currently working in plant sciences and biophysics, but also inspires future generations to pursue their own research in this area.
