Force Generation in the Coiling Tendrils of Passiflora caerulea (Adv. Sci. 28/2023)
Plant Biomechanics Climbing plants such as the passion flower Passiflora caerulea attach to their support structures using tendrils. The initially straight tendrils coil and thereby both contract and form a spring‐like helical structure. The biomechanics of the coiling movement as well as the functi...

| Sumario: | Plant Biomechanics Climbing plants such as the passion flower Passiflora caerulea attach to their support structures using tendrils. The initially straight tendrils coil and thereby both contract and form a spring‐like helical structure. The biomechanics of the coiling movement as well as the functional anatomy of the spring formation process are presented in article number 2301496 by Frederike Klimm, Thomas Speck, and Marc Thielen.
