Let There be Light! Light as an Engine and Regulator in Synthetic Cells

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie International Edition, Volume 65, Issue 24, 8 June 2026.
Cells are out‐of‐equilibrium systems that regulate their spatiotemporal features. In biomimetic synthetic cells, light offers a unique way for energizing and regulating events in space and time. This review explores the implementation of light‐responsive tools in synthetic cells to replicate biological functions and enable new bioinspired behaviors ...

Transient Photoreceptor Phototropism in Developing Mouse Retina [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
This work focuses on quantifying the response of mouse rod photoreceptors to a light stimulus during developmental ages. The purpose is to have a better comprehension of the physiological mechanisms underlying transient retinal phototropism.

Can lateral redistribution of auxin account for phototropism of maize coleoptiles [PDF]

open access: yes, 1986
Elongation growth of intact, red-light grown maize (Zea mays L.) coleoptiles was studied by applying a small spot of an indole acetic acid (IAA)-lanolin mixture to the coleoptile tip.

A method for the quantification of phototropic and gravitropic sensitivities of plants combining an original experimental device with model-assisted phenotyping: Exploratory test of the method on three hardwood tree species.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2019
Perception of inclination in the gravity field and perception of light direction are two important environmental signals implicated in the control of plant shape and habit. However, their quantitative study in light-grown plants remains a challenge.

Magnetic field effects on plant growth, development and evolution

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2014
The geomagnetic field (GMF) is a natural component of our environment. Plants, which are known to sense different wavelengths of light, respond to gravity, react to touch and electrical signaling, cannot escape the effect of GMF.

Arabidopsis NPH1: a flavoprotein with the properties of a photoreceptor for phototropism.

open access: yes, 1998
The NPH1 gene of Arabidopsis thaliana encodes a 120-kilodalton serine-threonine protein kinase hypothesized to function as a photoreceptor for phototropism.

Abstracting Hopper

open access: yesTextes & Contextes, 2019
One of the most seductive aspects of Hopper paintings is the sheer visual potency of their painted surface, the lavish formal trap of line and color that the artist has composed.

How and why do roots sense light under the soil surface?

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2015
Light can penetrate several centimetres below the soil surface. Growth, development and behaviour of plant roots are markedly affected by light despite their underground lifestyle.

Phototropins of the moss Physcomitrella patens function as blue-light receptors for phototropism in Arabidopsis

open access: yesPlant Signalling & Behavior, 2018
Four phototropin genes (PHOTA1, PHOTA2, PHOTB1, PHOTB2) have been isolated in the moss Physcomitrella patens. These genes encode phototropins that mediate blue-light–induced chloroplast movement.
