Quo vadis plant biomechanics: Old wine in new bottles or an up‐and‐coming field of modern plant science?
Abstract: In this essay, we present a personal view of plant biomechanics today and of the directions in which plant biomechanics will or should move during the next few decades. Biomechanics deals with mechanical investigations on plants, animals, fungi, and bacteria, covering all orders of magnitude—from the molecule to the entire organism—applying methods also used in physics, engineering, and materials sciences. In our opinion, the field of plant biomechanics cannot be considered without mechanically testing, analyzing, and characterizing the underlying structural setup of the hierarchical organization of plant cells, tissues, organs, and organisms. As a consequence, only a thorough analysis of the materials systems of a plant will enable reliable quantitative mechanical investigations. In turn, a quantitative analysis of the form–structure–function relations in plants is only possible if the functional morphology is studied in conjunction with a biomechanical investigation
