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