Plants adapt to changes in external water conditions through functional regulation of different tissues, cells, and molecules. Among these mechanisms, physical mechanisms, especially mechanics, have received increasing attention. Mechanical factors play a key role in the response and self-adaptation at different levels of function, such as mechanical regulation of water transport, tissue deformation, cell growth and movement, and intermolecular interactions. Plant defense performance based on biomechanical principles offers new possibilities for the development of green ecological agriculture.
CD BioSciences, with its state-of-the-art equipment and professional team of experts, is dedicated to studying plant biomechanics, thereby revealing the mechanical properties of plant tissues, cells, and the environment.
Applications in Plant Mechanics Research
With a dedicated team and a variety of advanced testing equipment, CD BioSciences strives to provide clients with high-quality biophysical analysis services, focusing on plant mechanics.
Plant Cell Mechanics
Based on specific data, we can construct models of plant cell mechanics to study the mechanical behavior of plant tissues. In addition, we can apply these models to agriculture and food processing. In addition, we offer a wide range of biomechanical testing techniques to examine the structural and material properties of plant cell walls, which in turn reflect the mechanical properties of plant cells.
Mechanical Properties Testing of Plant Materials
Many plant materials, such as wood, have a wide range of applications in construction and furniture making. We provide professional biomechanical testing instruments for testing the mechanical properties of these materials, including elasticity, toughness, strength, etc., to guide their rational use and design. In addition, through microscopic observation, scanning electron microscopy, and other techniques, we can visually observe the cell wall structure, fiber arrangement, and other microscopic features of plant materials, to reveal the sources and influencing factors of their mechanical properties. Comparing the mechanical properties of different plant materials further provides a more scientific basis for the selection and application of plant materials.
Plants and Environmental Mechanics
In nature, the growth and development process of plants is often stimulated by various environmental factors, among which the unfavorable ones are environmental stresses, such as early flooding, high salt, freezing, and high temperature. The biomechanical assay technology we provide enables us to study the intrinsic connection between the mechanical environment and factors such as root growth, cellular microtubule skeleton arrangement, growth hormone regulation, etc., and to explore the laws of mechanical stimuli affecting the growth and development of plant root organs, tissues, and roots. These studies are of great theoretical significance to our understanding of plant developmental processes and have potential application value in guiding practical agricultural production.
