Proper PIN1 distribution is needed for root negative phototropism in Arabidopsis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Plants can be adapted to the changing environments through tropic responses, such as light and gravity. One of them is root negative phototropism, which is needed for root growth and nutrient absorption.

From dark to darkness, negative phototropism influences the support-tree location of the massive woody climber Hydrangea serratifolia (Hydrangeaceae) in a Chilean temperate rainforest [PDF]
Plant Signaling & Behavior, 2022 Climbing plants rely on suitable support to provide the light conditions they require in the canopy. Negative phototropism is a directional search behavior proposed to detect a support-tree, which indicates growth or movement away from light, based on ...

Negative Phototropism of Chlorophytum comosum Roots and Their Mechanisms
Horticultural Plant Journal, 2015 The aerial roots of Chlorophytum comosum were grown hydroponically, allowing us to study the performance and mechanism of negative phototropism. The results of this study were as follows.

CaPHOT1 Negatively Regulates the Pepper Resistance to Phytophthora capsici Infection [PDF]
PlantsPhototropins (PHOTs) are plant blue-light receptors that mediate crucial physiological processes such as phototropism, chloroplast movement, stomatal opening, and flowering. However, the PHOT family genes remain poorly characterized in pepper.

Don’t be MIZguided, know where to grow! [PDF]
Communications BiologyPlant organs shift their directional growth in response to environmental stimuli through tropisms. Arabidopsis roots exhibit positive hydrotropism (towards water) and negative phototropism (away from light).

Programming crack patterns with light in colloidal plasmonic films [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsCrack formation observed across diverse fields like geology, nanotechnology, arts, structural engineering or surface science, is a chaotic and undesirable phenomenon, resulting in random patterns of cracks generally leading to material failure.

Modelling torus behaviour in a fish farming cage
Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, 2022 Since it is not usually possible to observe all of the fish in a school, it is difficult to monitor farmed fish in a crowded cage with the aim of scrutinising their condition. One possible solution to this problem is the use of simulations.

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016 UV-B radiation is an important part of the electromagnetic spectrum emitted by the sun. For much of the period of biological evolution organisms have been exposed to UV radiation, and have developed diverse mechanisms to cope with this potential stress ...
