Plant-on-a-chip to unravel plant cell fate
In plants, cell position is crucial for determining their future identity, and signals from neighboring cells play a key role in coordinating the organism's development. However, the nature of positional information and the mechanisms of signal transmission in plants are not well understood. During my PhD we will build a plant-on-chip to individually study the role of the different physical cues in cell fate determination. The objective is to decipher the principles controlling plant cell fate through a series of targeted experiments.
