Dandelion pappus morphing is actuated by radially patterned material swelling

The dandelion pappus opens and closes reversibly to tune seed dispersal according to environmental moisture levels. In the Nature Communications paper "Madeleine Seale, Annamaria Kiss, Simone Bovio, Ignazio Maria Viola, Enrico Mastropaolo, Arezki Boudaoud, Naomi Nakayama, Dandelion pappus morphing is actuated by radially patterned material swelling, https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-022-30245-3 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.
