This research aims to understand how plants integrate signals from their surroundings to control growth patterns and developmental transitions that optimize performance. Research will focus on (1) the assembly and self-organization of dynamic cellular components that dictate tissue and growth patterns, (2) hormone-mediated feedback systems that balance cell proliferation and differentiation, and (3) identifying how plants gauge and modify their cell wall composition to maintain unidirectional expansion. These three mechanisms underscore the evolutionary processes that have enabled plants to colonize land and thrive in harsh environments. The program will therefore lead to new strategies for enhancing plant performance and productivity under challenging climatic conditions.

这项研究旨在了解植物如何整合来自环境的信号，以控制生长模式和发育过渡，从而优化表现。研究将集中在(1)决定组织和生长模式的动态细胞组件的组装和自组织，(2)平衡细胞增殖和分化的激素介导的反馈系统，以及(3)识别植物如何测量和修改其细胞壁组成以保持单向扩张。这三种机制强调了使植物能够在恶劣环境中定居并茁壮成长的进化过程。因此，该计划将导致在具有挑战性的气候条件下提高植物表现和生产力的新战略。
