A photo-responsive F-box protein FOF2 regulates floral initiation by promoting FLC expression in Arabidopsis. [PDF]
Floral initiation is regulated by various genetic pathways in response to light, temperature, hormones and developmental status; however, the molecular mechanisms underlying the interactions between different genetic pathways are not fully understood ...

Feedback-Control of Photoresponsive Fluid Interfaces
Photoresponsive surfactants provide a unique microfluidic driving mechanism. Since their molecular shapes change under illumination and thereby affect surface tension of fluid interfaces, Marangoni flow along the interface occurs.

Halogen-Bonded Photoresponsive Materials
The aim of the present review is to illustrate to the reader the state of the art on the construction of supramolecular azobenzene-containing materials formed by halogen bonding. These materials include several examples of polymeric, liquid crystalline or crystalline species whose performances are either superior to the corresponding performances of ...
