Plant Robotics for Sustainable and Environmentally Friendly Robots: Insights from Actuation Characteristics. [PDF]
Adv Sci (Weinh)Plants are promising materials for building sustainable and eco‐friendly robots due to their inherent multifunctionality, with actuation playing a crucial role. This article focuses on the physical movements of plants and, from the perspective of actuation characteristics, explores representative plant species and their behaviors, the current state of ...

PROG1 acts upstream of LAZY1 to regulate rice tiller angle as a repressor
Crop Journal, 2023 Rice tiller angle, as a component of plant architecture, affects rice grain yield via plant density. However, the molecular mechanism underlying rice tiller angle remains elusive.

Discrete and cell-specific hypoxic responses in Arabidopsis roots resolved by single-nuclei transcriptomics. [PDF]
New PhytolSummary With the intensification of unpredictable flooding events because of global warming, there is a need to understand how root cells perceive and respond to oxygen deprivation. The use of high‐throughput single‐nuclei RNA‐sequencing (snRNA‐Seq) allows the examination of gene expression profiles in discrete cell types.

Transcriptional regulation of PIN genes by FOUR LIPS and MYB88 during Arabidopsis root gravitropism [PDF]
, 2015 PIN proteins are auxin export carriers that direct intercellular auxin flow and in turn regulate many aspects of plant growth and development including responses to environmental changes.

Gravity induces asymmetric Ca2+ spikes in the root cap in the early stage of gravitropism
Plant Signaling & Behavior, 2022 Gravitropism is an important strategy for the adaptation of plants to the changing environment. Previous reports indicated that Ca2+ participated in plant gravity response.

Sparse panicle1 is required for inflorescence development in Setaria viridis and maize. [PDF]
, 2017 Setaria viridis is a rapid-life-cycle model panicoid grass. To identify genes that may contribute to inflorescence architecture and thus have the potential to influence grain yield in related crops such as maize, we conducted an N-nitroso-N-methylurea ...

Gravity sensing, a largely misunderstood trigger of plant orientated growth
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2014 Gravity is a crucial environmental factor regulating plant growth and development. Plants have the ability to sense a change in the direction of gravity, which leads to the re-orientation of their growth direction, so-called gravitropism.
