ALS as Tool to Study Preferred Stem Inclination Directions
Remote Sensing, 2020 Although gravitropism forces trees to grow vertically, stems have shown to prefer specific orientations. Apart from wind deforming the tree shape, lateral light can result in prevailing inclination directions.

THE PHOTOTROPIC EXCITATION OF LIMAX [PDF]
Journal of General Physiology, 1929 The photic orientation of Limax creeping geotropically upon a vertical plate is such that the phototropic vector determining the angular deflection ß from the vertical path is proportional to log I. This is proved by the fact that with horizontal illumination tan ß is directly proportional to log I; with non-horizontal light rays from a small source ...

Guard-Cell-Specific Expression of Phototropin2 C-Terminal Fragment Enhances Leaf Transpiration
Plants, 2021 Phototropins (phot1 and phot2) are plant-specific blue light receptors that mediate chloroplast movement, stomatal opening, and phototropism. Phototropin is composed of the N-terminus LOV1 and LOV2 domains and the C-terminus Ser/Thr kinase domain.

Peg Biology: Deciphering the Molecular Regulations Involved During Peanut Peg Development
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019 Peanut or groundnut is one of the most important legume crops with high protein and oil content. The high nutritional qualities of peanut and its multiple usage have made it an indispensable component of our daily life, in both confectionary and ...

Role of Leaves in Phototropism [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 1966 Experiments with green seedlings of sunflower (Helianthus annuns L.) indicate the existence of a phototropic mechanism which involves the leaves or cotyledons, and which can produce an asymmetry of auxin content without the involvement of lateral auxin transport, the classic explanation of phototropism in etiolated seedlings.

Interaction of gravitropism and phototropism in roots of Brassica oleracea [PDF]
, 2022 24 p.-9 fig.Gravitropism and phototropism play a primary role in orienting root growth. Tropistic responses of roots mediated by gravity and light have been extensively investigated, and a complex mutual interaction occurs between these two tropisms.

Subfunctionalization of phytochrome B1/B2 leads to differential auxin and photosynthetic responses
Plant Direct, 2020 Gene duplication and polyploidization are genetic mechanisms that instantly add genetic material to an organism's genome. Subsequent modification of the duplicated material leads to the evolution of neofunctionalization (new genetic functions ...

Lack of evidence for associative learning in pea plants
eLife, 2020 Gagliano et al. (Learning by association in plants, 2016) reported associative learning in pea plants. Associative learning has long been considered a behavior performed only by animals, making this claim particularly newsworthy and interesting.
