Can we use morphology and dynamics to understand the mechanical state of tissues better?

Ethylene modulates cell wall mechanics for root responses to compaction - Nature
Soil compaction traps ethylene around roots, which causes transcriptional upregulation of Auxin Response Factor1, resulting in decreased root cortical cell wall thickness and thereby promoting root ra...

Mechanical forces can affect the way tissue grows. Ideally, we want to characterize them without interfering with the processes we are studying. Is there a way to achieve this?
