DESCRIPTION:Biological organisms robustly develop into shapes with specifi
 ed functionality. The plant shoot harbours a stem cell niche that stays th
 roughout the life of the plant allowing for aerial organs to continuously 
 develop in symmetric patterns. Since cell migration is not present this re
 quires a balance between cell differentiation and morphogenesis driven by 
 heterogeneous and anisotropic growth.\nIn this presentation\, I will discu
 ss how we use live imaging of the development at cellular resolution and t
 heoretical and computational models to improve our quantitative understand
 ing of the complex dynamics at the plant shoot. We aim to elucidate the mo
 lecular and mechanical mechanisms driving the process and find design prin
 ciples for how multicellular development can robustly be regulated. In add
 ition\, I will discuss how environmental factors can alter development and
  stem cell regulation in the plant shoot.\n
