The origin and evolution of phototropins
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2015 Plant phototropism, the ability to bend toward or away from light, is predominantly controlled by blue-light photoreceptors, the phototropins. Although phototropins have been well-characterized in Arabidopsis thaliana, their evolutionary history is ...

Computers from plants we never made. Speculations
, 2017 We discuss possible designs and prototypes of computing systems that could be based on morphological development of roots, interaction of roots, and analog electrical computation with plants, and plant-derived electronic components.

Gravitropism in plants: Hydraulics and wall growth properties of responding cells [PDF]
Gravitropism is the asymmetrical alteration of plant growth in response to a change in the gravity vector, with the typical result that stems grow up and roots grow down.

Fundamental Molecules of Life are Pigments which Arose and Evolved to Dissipate the Solar Spectrum
, 2014 The driving force behind the origin and evolution of life has been the thermodynamic imperative of increasing the entropy production of the biosphere through increasing the global solar photon dissipation rate.
