Extended Data Fig. 5: Convergence of reverse engineering and significance of results.
From: Mechanical interactions between tissue layers underlie plant morphogenesis

a, Convergence of the volume distribution of all cells of each sample over the reverse engineering steps. b, For each sample: final volume increase distributions from the plasmolyzed state to the turgid state, simulated and experimental. c, Guessing of the next stiffness of a given cell. A linear trend is drawn from the two previous states (En-2,Vn-2) and (En-1,Vn-1), and the intersection between this line and the V = Vexp horizontal line yields the new cell stiffness EGuess. d, Stiffness values after the 20th reverse engineering step per region and stiffness ratios between regions of interest. An inner/outer gradient can be observed for each sample in the locule region.
