Local mechanosensing of external loads. (A) Probability of mechanosensitive channel (MsC) opening and mean patch conductance as a function of patch depression (and hence membrane tension and MsC strain). Open and filled circles, two replicates. Dashed dotted line, linear fit. Modified from Ding and Pickard (1993), Copyright# 1993, The Plant Journal, John Wiley and Sons. (B) Relationship between the relative transcript abundance Qr of the primary mechanosensitive gene Pta ZFP2 (measured by Q-RT-PCR) and predictions from the Strain-Sensing model through the volume-averaged strain in the bent stem segment ε, (i.e., Sum of the Strain-Sensing normalized to the volume of the bent tissue; Coutand et al., 2009, Journal of Experimental Botany, by permission of the Society for Experimental Biology).
