UV-B induced generation of reactive oxygen species promotes formation of BFA-induced compartments in cells of Arabidopsis root apices

open access: yesFrontiers 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 ...

Positive/Negative Phototropism: Controllable Molecular Actuators with Different Bending Behavior [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Herein, a series of molecular actuators based on the crystals of (E)‐2‐(4‐fluorostyryl)benzo[d]oxazole (BOAF4),(E)‐2‐(2,4‐difluorostyryl)benzo[d]oxazole (BOAF24), (E)‐2‐(4‐fluorostyryl)benzo[d]thiazole (BTAF4) and (E)‐2‐(2,4‐difluorostyryl)benzo[d]thiazole (BTAF24) showed unprecedented different bending behavior under UVirradiation.

Light as Stress Factor to Plant Roots – Case of Root Halotropism

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2014
Despite growing underground, largely in darkness, roots emerge to be very sensitive to light. Recently, several important papers have been published which reveal that plant roots not only express all known light receptors but also that their growth ...

Phototropism: Translating light into directional growth. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Phototropism allows plants to align their photosynthetic tissues with incoming light. The direction of incident light is sensed by the phototropin family of blue light photoreceptors (phot1 and phot2 in Arabidopsis), which are light-activated protein ...

High Pigment1 Mutation Negatively Regulates Phototropic Signal Transduction in Tomato Seedlings [PDF]

open access: yesPlant Physiology, 2004
Abstract Phototropins and phytochromes are the major photosensory receptors in plants and they regulate distinct photomorphogenic responses. The molecular mechanisms underlying functional interactions of phototropins and phytochromes remain largely unclear.

Microtubule-severing enzymes: From cellular functions to molecular mechanism. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Microtubule-severing enzymes generate internal breaks in microtubules. They are conserved in eukaryotes from ciliates to mammals, and their function is important in diverse cellular processes ranging from cilia biogenesis to cell division, phototropism ...

Sensing the light environment in plants: photoreceptors and early signaling steps. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Plants must constantly adapt to a changing light environment in order to optimize energy conversion through the process of photosynthesis and to limit photodamage.

Botanical Fabrication: A research project at the intersection of design, botany and horticulture [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
‘Botanical Fabrication’ is an on-going research initiative which investigates how an understanding of botany and horticultural techniques can challenge the design process and lead to alternative sustainable manufacturing or ‘eco-facturing’ tools.

Full moonlight-induced circadian clock entrainment in Coffea arabica [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Background: It is now well documented that moonlight affects the life cycle of invertebrates, birds, reptiles, and mammals. The lunisolar tide is also well-known to alter plant growth and development.
