Negative Phototropism of the Creeping Shoots in Japanese Ivy, Hedera rhombea.
付着根型つる植物であるキヅタ (ウコギ科) の匍匐シュートの伸長方向と光環境の関係を実験的に解析した。匍匐シュートに傾度のある光環境条件を与えた場合, 10 mm以上伸長したすべてのシュートで, キヅタは負の光屈性を示した。また, その負の光屈性は, シュートの先端が水平方向と垂直方向の光強度が均一に低下するような空間をめざして伸長するように生じていた。シュートの伸長量は光量の減少にしたがって低下したが, 20 μmol/m2/sという弱光環境においても負の光屈性は生じていた。つまり, キヅタの匍匐シュートの負の光屈性は, 単なる強光を避ける反応ではなく, 三次元空間的な光環境で暗所方向へ伸長する反応であった。この負の光屈性は, つる植物が林床の不均一な光環境下で ...

Proposed model of TAC1‐mediated leaf angle regulation in tobacco. ABSTRACT Plant architecture is key to crop yield, with leaf angle being critical for high‐density cultivation. Although TAC1 represents a promising regulator of leaf angle for breeding, its molecular mechanism remains poorly understood, particularly at single‐nucleus resolution. Here, we

The Light Growth Response of Phycomyces [PDF]
With the help of an automated tracking system we have studied the characteristics of the transient light growth response of Phycomyces. The response shows a sharply defined latency. The Q10 of the reciprocal latency is 2.4. Response patterns at different

Vestigial Plastids in Parasitic Plants: Evolutionary Remnants or Adaptive Innovations?
ABSTRACT Throughout the evolutionary history of plants, chloroplasts originating from a cyanobacterial endosymbiosis have undergone remarkable adaptation and specialization, giving rise to a multitude of plastid types. The evolution toward parasitism in plants represents a particularly extreme case of such specialization.

This review focuses on solar‐driven interfacial evaporation (SIE) for sustainable desalination, covering material design, performance, and applications. It also discusses current challenges and future directions, positioning SIE as a key technology to address global water scarcity. ABSTRACT The global freshwater crisis, intensified by population growth

This article describes a modular strategy to construct artificial cells able to regulate mammalian cell protein expression via vesicle‐based RNA communication. Considering the important role of extracellular vesicles in genetic information transfer, this artificial exosome design is a significant advance toward mimicking nucleic acid communication ...

Computers from plants we never made. Speculations
We discuss possible designs and prototypes of computing systems that could be based on morphological development of roots, interaction of roots, and analog electrical computation with plants, and plant-derived electronic components.
