Books By Anja Geitmann - Author

Dr. Geitmann investigates the role of the cell wall in plant reproduction and development. Her research focuses
on the cellular processes that lead to the formation of plant organs and functional tissues. She holds the Canada
Research Chair in Biomechanics of Plant Development and leads an interdisciplinary team of biologists and
engineers. Dr. Geitmann's research combines cell biology with engineering methodology and mathematical
concepts to reveal how the cell wall deforms during cell growth and to detect the forces involved. Her team has
developed sophisticated experimental and computational tools enabling researchers to study questions such as
how the pollen tube delivers the sperm cells during reproduction in plants and how plant cells change shape to
generate tissues with various functionalities.
Dr. Geitmann is the editor of the books 'Pollen and Pollen Tube Biology' (2020), 'Plant Biomechanics - From
Structure to Function at Multiple Scales' (2018), &#
