Sommaire:

Why are plant leaves flat? How does a plant achieve a well-defined shape? More generally, what are the physical mechanisms behind morphogenesis in living systems? We are combining various experimental and theoretical approaches to address these questions, which has led us to study the coupling between differential geometry and elasticity, to build models of active elastic media, and the develop methods to measure the mechanical properties of live plant tissues. In this talk, I will give a broad overview of our results on the physics of plant development.
