Conditions for the emergence of circumnutations in plant roots.
PLoS ONE, 2021 The plant root system shows remarkably complex behaviors driven by environmental cues and internal dynamics, whose interplay remains largely unknown. A notable example is circumnutation growth movements, which are growth oscillations from side to side of

Classifying Circumnutation in Pea Plants via Supervised Machine Learning
Plants, 2023 Climbing plants require an external support to grow vertically and enhance light acquisition. Climbers that find a suitable support demonstrate greater performance and fitness than those that remain prostrate.

Circumnutation in the growth of Chara rhizoids
Acta Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2014 Chara rhizoids, cylindrical cells growing in their apex, having the capability of positive orthogravitropic response, while growing without any change of position are not ideally straight, but they are characterised by slight and repeating cyclic ...

Circumnutation as an autonomous root movement in plants [PDF]
American Journal of Botany, 2013 Although publications on circumnutation of the aerial parts of flowering plants are numerous and primarily from the time between and the 1950s, reports on circumnutation of roots are scarce. With the introduction of modern molecular biology techniques, many topics in the plant sciences have been revitalized; among these is root circumnutation.

Vine-Inspired Continuum Tendril Robots and Circumnutations [PDF]
Robotics, 2018 Smooth-backboned “continuum” robot structures offer novel ways to create robot shapes and movements. In this paper, we show how circumnutation, a motion strategy commonly employed by plants, can be implemented and usefully exploited with ...

Can Plants Move Like Animals? A Three-Dimensional Stereovision Analysis of Movement in Plants
Animals, 2021 In this article we adapt a methodology customarily used to investigate movement in animals to study the movement of plants. The targeted movement is circumnutation, a helical organ movement widespread among plants.

Mechanism and function of root circumnutation [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2020 Significance Root growth in soil is complex. With limited sensory input, roots must navigate an environment containing heterogeneities such as rocks and compaction. The ability of roots to penetrate soil is crucial for water and nutrient uptake as well as mechanical anchorage.

Kinematic Evidence of Root-to-Shoot Signaling for the Coding of Support Thickness in Pea Plants
Biology, 2022 Plants such as climbers characterized by stems or tendrils need to find a potential support (e.g., pole, stick, other plants or trees) to reach greater light exposure. Since the time when Darwin carried out research on climbing plants, several studies on

Circumnutation Tracker: novel software for investigation of circumnutation [PDF]
Plant Methods, 2014 BACKGROUND: An endogenous, helical plant organ movement named circumnutation is ubiquitous in the plant kingdom. Plant shoots, stems, tendrils, leaves, and roots commonly circumnutate but their appearance is still poorly described. To support such investigations, novel software Circumnutation Tracker (CT) for spatial-temporal analysis of circumnutation

Life, 2020 Circumnutation is a periodic growth movement, which is an important physiological mechanism of plants to adapt to their growth environments. Gravity and photoperiod are two key environmental factors in regulating the circumnutation of plants, but the ...
