Abstract

Living structures constantly interact with the biotic and abiotic environment by sensing and responding via specialized functional parts. In other words, biological bodies embody highly functional machines and actuators. What are the signatures of engineering mechanisms in biology? In this review, we connect the dots in the literature to seek engineering principles in plant structures. We identify three thematic motifs-bilayer actuator, slender-bodied functional surface, and self-similarity-and provide an overview of their structure-function relationships. Unlike human-engineered machines and actuators, biological counterparts may appear suboptimal in design, loosely complying with physical theories or engineering principles. We postulate what factors may influence the evolution of functional morphology and anatomy to dissect and comprehend better the why behind the biological forms.

植物形式和功能的工程主题。
生命结构通过特殊的功能部件感知和响应,不断与生物和非生物环境相互作用。换句话说,生物体体现了功能强大的机器和执行器。生物学中工程机制的特征是什么?在这篇综述中,我们连接文献中的点来寻求植物结构的工程原理。我们确定了三个主题-双层驱动器,细长体功能表面和自相似性-并概述了它们的结构-功能关系。与人类设计的机器和驱动器不同,生物对应物在设计上可能不是最优的,松散地遵循物理理论或工程原理。我们假设哪些因素可能影响功能形态和解剖学的进化,以更好地解剖和理解生物形式背后的原因。
