Herbivory‐Induced Stomatal Opening Triggers the Dispersal of an Invasive Insect Herbivore
Advanced Science, EarlyView.The invasive leafminer Phthorimaea absoluta uniquely manipulates plant defenses by inducing stomatal opening in tomato. This response, mediated by the stomatal regulator IQM1, enhances the release of the repellent volatile benzaldehyde. This volatile triggers the dispersal of adult moths, facilitates colonization of new hosts, and leads to rapid ...

Activation tagging of theLEAFY PETIOLEgene affects leaf petiole development inArabidopsis thaliana
Development, 2000 ABSTRACTIn a screen for leaf developmental mutants we have isolated an activator T-DNA-tagged mutant that produces leaves without a petiole. In addition to that leafy petiole phenotype this lettuce (let) mutant shows aberrant inflorescence branching and silique shape. The LEAFY PETIOLE (LEP) gene is located close to the right border of the T-DNA insert

Advanced Science, EarlyView.In this study, an efficient screening system is developed for plant metabolites to find a compound, 7‐epi‐10‐deacetyltaxol, inhibits tissue elongation. It suppresses plant growth through brassinosteroid and microtubule pathways. It is later applied to animal cells and human tumor organoids, resulting in similar cell division suppression. These findings

Anatomy and Biomechanics of Peltate Begonia Leaves—Comparative Case Studies
Plants, 2022 Plants are exposed to various external stresses influencing physiology, anatomy, and morphology. Shape, geometry, and size of shoots and leaves are particularly affected.

Acta Biologica Cracoviensia s. Botanica, 2018 Petiole bending in detached leaves of Bryophyllum calycinum was intensively investigated in relation to polar auxin transport in petioles. When detached leaves were placed leaf blade face down, clear petiole bending was observed. On the other hand, no petiole bending was found when detached leaves were placed leaf blade face up.

Double Helix Structure for Stable Flexural Actuation in Soft Robotics
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.This work introduces a double‐helical architecture for soft robotic actuators that enhances twisting resistance, increases output force, and minimizes undesired deformation. Actuators driven by shape‐memory alloy wires exhibit a roughly fivefold higher torsional/flexural stiffness ratio and 50% greater force output.

Acta Agrobotanica, 2016 We have found that auxin, indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) substantially induces the formation of the secondary abscission zone in stem and petiole explants and in decapitated stem and petiole after excision of blade in intact plants of Bryophyllum calycinum ...

Pathways of Photosynthesis in Non-Leaf Tissues
Biology, 2020 Plants have leaves as specialised organs that capture light energy by photosynthesis. However, photosynthesis is also found in other plant organs. Photosynthesis may be found in the petiole, stems, flowers, fruits, and seeds.

Structural and torsional properties of the Trachycarpus fortunei palm petiole [PDF]
, 2006 The Trachycarpus fortunei palm is a good example of a palm with a large leaf blade supported by a correspondingly large petiole. The way in which the material and functional properties of the petiole interact is analysed using engineering and botanical ...
