Dandelion pappus morphing is actuated by radially patterned material swelling

<p>The dandelion pappus opens and closes reversibly to tune seed dispersal according to environmental moisture levels.</p> <p>In the Nature Communications paper &quot;<em>Madeleine Seale, Annamaria Kiss, Simone Bovio, Ignazio Maria Viola, Enrico Mastropaolo, Arezki Boudaoud, Naomi Nakayama</em>,&nbsp;<strong>Dandelion pappus morphing is actuated by radially patterned material swelling</strong>,&nbsp;https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-022-30245-3&nbsp;the authors combined experiments with a computational model to show that pappus closure is coordinated by radially-patterned tissue swelling at the base of floral organs.</p> <p>This repository contains the source data for the paper.</p>
