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

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 We present a three-dimensional morphoelastic rod model capable to describe the morphogenesis of growing plant shoots driven by differential growth. We discuss the evolution laws for endogenous oscillators, straightening mechanisms, and reorientations to ...

A General 3D Model for Growth Dynamics of Sensory-Growth Systems: From Plants to Robotics
Frontiers in Robotics and AI, 2020 In recent years, there has been a rise in interest in the development of self-growing robotics inspired by the moving-by-growing paradigm of plants.

Glutamatergic elements in an excitability and circumnutation mechanism [PDF]
Plant Signaling & Behavior, 2010 In plants, an electrical potential and circumnutation disturbances are a part of a response to environmental and internal stimuli. Precise relations between electrical potential changes and circumnutation mechanisms are unclear. We have found recently that glutamate (Glu) injection into Helianthus annuus stem induced a series of action potentials (APs)

The Growth Oscillator and Plant Stomata: An Open and Shut Case
Plants, 2023 Since Darwin’s “Power of Movement in Plants” the precise mechanism of oscillatory plant growth remains elusive. Hence the search continues for the hypothetical growth oscillator that regulates a huge range of growth phenomena ranging from circumnutation ...

Current understanding of the role of the cell wall in Cuscuta parasitism. [PDF]
Plant Biol (Stuttg)We comprehensively summarise the roles of plant cell wall in key processes of parasitism by the obligate stem parasite Cuscuta. Abstract The plant cell wall (CW) plays a crucial role in many aspects of parasitism by the obligate stem parasite, Cuscuta. Cuscuta parasitism begins with tight coiling around the host stem by the strong tensile force of the ...

Circumnutations of Sunflower Hypocotyls in Satellite Orbit [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 1990 The principal objective of the research reported here was to determine whether a plant's periodic growth oscillations, called circumnutations, would persist in the absence of a significant gravitational or inertial force. The definitive experiment was made possible by access to the condition of protracted near weightlessness in an earth satellite ...

Circumnutation as a visible plant action and reaction [PDF]
Plant Signaling & Behavior, 2009 Circumnutation is a helical organ movement widespread among plants. It is variable due to a different magnitude of trajectory (amplitude) outlined by the organ tip, duration of one cycle (period), circular, elliptical, pendulum-like or irregular shape and clock- and counterclockwise direction of rotation. Some of those movement parameters are regulated

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2017 Action potentials (APs), i.e., long-distance electrical signals, and circumnutations (CN), i.e., endogenous plant organ movements, are shaped by ion fluxes and content in excitable and motor tissues.
