摘　　要：Plants possess many structural and functional properties that have a high potential to serve as concept generators for the production of biomimetic technical materials and structures. We present data on two features of plants (variable stiffness due to pressure changes in cellular structures and rapid self-repair functions) that may be used as models for biomimetic projects.Plants possess many structural and functional properties that have a high potential to serve as concept generators for the production of biomimetic technical materials and structures.
