SUMMARY:Mechano-chemical feedbacks in plant regeneration - Kalika Prasad (
 Indian Institute of Science Education and Research\, Pune\, India)
DTSTART:20230130T143000Z

CONTACT:Dr. Wolfram Pönisch
DESCRIPTION:Plants display remarkable developmental plasticity and can reg
 enerate complete organ systems from a few existing cells in response to ex
 ternal inductive cues. A complete shoot system can be regenerated from und
 ifferentiated callus through the age-old practice of de novo organogenesis
 . Recent studies have implicated a number of developmentally regulated gen
 es in this process. While these studies provide a deterministic view\, uni
 tary principles associated with self-organisation of regenerating cells re
 main largely unknown. I will discuss how interplay between mechanical and 
 biochemical effects sculpts the dome shaped meristem from regenerating pro
 genitors in the absence of pre-patterning cues.
