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

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
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.
The NPH1 gene of Arabidopsis thaliana encodes a 120-kilodalton serine-threonine protein kinase hypothesized to function as a photoreceptor for phototropism.

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?
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.

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.
