Frontiers 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

New Phytologist, EarlyView.Proprioception controls trunk straightness in trees through opposite tension wood formation. A spherical growth chamber (a), combined with a two‐dimensional rotating clinostat (b2), suppresses gravi‐ and phototropic sensing. The tree is first tilted horizontally (b1), triggering upward gravitropic bending, actuated by tension wood formation on the ...

Gravity induces asymmetric Ca2+ spikes in the root cap in the early stage of gravitropism
, 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.

Striking the Right Chord: Signaling Enigma during Root Gravitropism
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2017 Plants being sessile can often be judged as passive acceptors of their environment. However, plants are actually even more active in responding to the factors from their surroundings. Plants do not have eyes, ears or vestibular system like animals, still

Automatic measurement of rice tiller angle from unmanned aerial vehicle images
The Plant Phenome Journal, Volume 9, Issue 1, December 2026.Abstract Rice (Oryza sativa L.) tiller angle is an important trait that influences plant architecture, canopy light interception, and yield potential. In this study, we proposed a deep learning‐based pipeline for automated measurement of rice tiller angle and plant base width using unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) imagery.

Plants, 2019 Stem straightness is related to wood quality and yield. Although important genetic differences in stem straightness among the natural populations of Pinus pinaster are well established, the main drivers of these differences are not well known.

Adaptive Genomic Divergence Across Altitudes in Capsella bursa‐pastoris
Biological Diversity, Volume 3, Issue 3, Page 125-135, September 2026.Genomic divergence was observed between high‐altitude and low‐altitude populations of Capsella bursa‐pastoris in China, consistent with an important role of ecological factors. Candidate adaptive loci associated with enhanced energy metabolism, photoprotection, and growth plasticity under altitudinal stress were identified.

Identification of a Gravitropism-Deficient Mutant in Rice
Rice Science, 2017 A gravitropism-deficient mutant M96 was isolated from a mutant bank, generated by ethyl methane sulfonate (EMS) mutagenesis of indica rice accession ZJ100.

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

Adaptive thermal control of stem gravitropism through alternative RNA splicing in Arabidopsis
, 2015 Gravitropism is an important growth movement in response to gravity in virtually all higher plants: the roots showing positive gravitropism and the shoots showing negative gravitropism.
