| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we aimed to understand the regulation of cell wall plasticity through a structural mechanics approach. First, we found that the secondary cell wall actually has stronger structural properties than the primary cell wall, and that mechanical stimuli to the cells significantly affect secondary cell wall deposition. We also identified sulfamethizole as a novel compound involved in cell wall microdomain formation. In addition, we found that secondary cell wall modification significantly changes the pattern of gravitropism. Moreover, we developed a method to examine the tree shape from a mechanical point of view using FEM and other techniques. Furthermore, we found that the characteristic cell wall structure “pulvinar slit” of a legume motor cells is involved in repetitive and reversible mechanical movements.
