Rapid osmocontractile response of motor cells of Mimosa pudica pulvini induced by short light signals

open access: yesPhotochemistry and Photobiology, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 728-745, May/June 2025.
White light signals lasting less than 30 s induced rapid drop (1 s) of some Mimosa pudica leaves, resulting from osmocontraction of the pulvinar motor cells (A). An early signal detected after about 5 s is a change in motor cell membrane potential, depending on the wavelength applied (B).

“Shape of Cell”—An Auxin and Cell Wall Duet

open access: yesPhysiologia Plantarum, Volume 177, Issue 3, May/June 2025.
ABSTRACT Understanding the mechanisms underlying cell shape acquisition is of fundamental importance in plant science, as this process ultimately defines the structure and function of plant organs. Plants produce cells of diverse shapes and sizes, including pavement cells and stomata of leaves, elongated epidermal cells of the hypocotyl, and cells with

Potassium extrusion by plant cells: evolution from an emergency valve to a driver of long‐distance transport

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 245, Issue 1, Page 69-87, January 2025.
Summary The ability to accumulate nutrients is a hallmark for living creatures and plants evolved highly effective nutrient transport systems, especially for the uptake of potassium (K+). However, plants also developed mechanisms that enable the rapid extrusion of K+ in combination with anions.

Recreational land use contributes to the loss of marine biodiversity

open access: yesPeople and Nature, Volume 6, Issue 5, Page 1758-1773, October 2024.
Abstract Coastal areas are at the centre of human–nature relationship, shaped by recreation, tourism and aesthetic values. However, socioeconomic drivers of biodiversity change in coastal areas have received less attention. Soft sediment seafloors support diverse species communities and contribute to ecosystem functionality.

Detection of charophyte algae (Characeae) in lakes using eDNA metabarcoding

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Conservation
Detection of charophyte algae (Characeae) and identification to species level is important for biodiversity conservation and ecological status assessment, and environmental DNA (eDNA) might enable fast and replicable species detection.
