Plant Robotics for Sustainable and Environmentally Friendly Robots: Insights from Actuation Characteristics

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
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 ...

Discrete and cell‐specific hypoxic responses in Arabidopsis roots resolved by single‐nuclei transcriptomics

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary 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.

Brassinosteroids Inhibit Autotropic Root Straightening by Modifying Filamentous-Actin Organization and Dynamics

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2020
When positioned horizontally, roots grow down toward the direction of gravity. This phenomenon, called gravitropism, is influenced by most of the major plant hormones including brassinosteroids. Epi-brassinolide (eBL) was previously shown to enhance root

The RGI1–BAK1 module acts as the main receptor–coreceptor pair for regulating primary root gravitropism and meristem activity in response to RGF1 peptide in Arabidopsis

open access: yesPlant Signaling & Behavior, 2023
ROOT MERISTEM GROWTH FACTOR1 (RGF1) and its receptors RGF1 INSENSITIVEs (RGIs), a group of leucine-rich repeat receptor kinases, promote primary root meristem activity via a mitogen-activated protein kinase (MPK) signaling cascade and control root ...

Inclination not force is sensed by plants during shoot gravitropism [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
International audienceGravity perception plays a key role in how plants develop and adapt to environmental changes. However, more than a century after the pioneering work of Darwin, little is known on the sensing mechanism.

Elucidating the Genetic Basis of Columnar Upright Architecture in Populus Through CRISPR Disruption of TILLER ANGLE CONTROL1

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Narrow or upright branch angles in shoots and leaves lead to columnar, upright‐growing tree architectures, as observed in various tree species such as Lombardy poplar (Populus nigra var. italica). However, the genetic mechanism underlying this unique growth habit in Lombardy poplar has not yet been elucidated.

The Course of Mechanical Stress: Types, Perception, and Plant Response

open access: yesBiology, 2023
Mechanical stimuli, together with the corresponding plant perception mechanisms and the finely tuned thigmomorphogenetic response, has been of scientific and practical interest since the mid-17th century.

Single-cell-based system to monitor carrier driven cellular auxin homeostasis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Background: Abundance and distribution of the plant hormone auxin play important roles in plant development. Besides other metabolic processes, various auxin carriers control the cellular level of active auxin and, hence, are major regulators of cellular

Root Gravitropism: Quantification, Challenges, and Solutions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Better understanding of root traits such as root angle and root gravitropism will be crucial for development of crops with improved resource use efficiency. This chapter describes a high-throughput, automated image analysis method to trace Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) seedling roots grown on agar plates.

Transcription Profiling of Potato Leaves in Response to Heat Stress at Single‐Cell Resolution

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is a globally important food crop with considerable nutritional and economic value. Heat stress significantly inhibits potato plant growth and tuber development, constraining the sustainable development of the potato industry. Currently, studies on the cellular‐level mechanisms underlying heat adaptation in potato
