Functional mapping of gravitropism and phototropism for a desert tree, Populus euphratica
Background: Plants have evolved the dual capacity for maximizing light assimilation through stem growth (phototropism) and maximizing water and nutrient absorption through root growth (gravitropism).

Diurnal photoperiods and rhythmicity of the phototropic bending response in hypocotyls of sunflower, Helianthus annuus L. seedlings [PDF]
Research on phototropic (PT) bending in sunflower (Helianthus annuus L. cv. Kondi (Syngenta)) seedling hypocotyls presented herein focused on a comparison of diurnal and free-running photoperiods with the aim of explaining the development of diurnal ...

Response to comment on 'Lack of evidence for associative learning in pea plants'
In 2016 Gagliano et al. reported evidence for associative learning in plants (Gagliano et al., 2016). A subsequent attempt to replicate this finding by the present author was not successful (Markel, 2020). Gagliano et al.

Comment on 'Lack of evidence for associative learning in pea plants'
In 2016 we reported evidence for associative learning in plants (Gagliano et al., 2016). In view of the far-reaching implications of this finding we welcome the attempt made by Markel to replicate our study (Markel, 2020).

Interplay between the Reactions to Light and to Gravity in Phycomyces [PDF]
Sporangiophores of Phycomyces do not grow directly towards a horizontal beam of light, but equilibrate at an angle of about 30° above the horizontal. After describing several related observations, this paper suggests that the dioptric properties of an ...

Robotic sensing and stimuli provision for guided plant growth [PDF]
Robot systems are actively researched for manipulation of natural plants, typically restricted to agricultural automation activities such as harvest, irrigation, and mechanical weed control.

Phototropism is an essential response in some plant organs and features several signalling molecules involved in either photo-sensing or post-sensing responses. Annexins are involved in regulating plant growth and its responses to various stimuli.
