Phototropic Multiresponsive Active Nanogels [PDF]
Macromolecular Rapid Communications, 2019 AbstractAqueous dispersions of nanogels that respond to switches in environmental pH and/or temperature by changes in their hydrodynamic radius (Rh) and/or ζ‐potential are prepared by reversible addition‐fragmentation chain‐transfer (RAFT) polymerization‐induced thermal (70 °C) self‐assembly (PITSA) of N‐isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM) in the presence of a

The impact of light and gravity on growth directions in a root system of Cucumis sativus L.
Acta Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2011 While each individual root responds to such environmental factors as light or gravity the question arises how these reactions subordinate to the whole root system, which is supposed to maintain its primary functions.

Deetiolation Enhances Phototropism by Modulating NON-PHOTOTROPIC HYPOCOTYL3 Phosphorylation Status [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 2019 Phototropin (phot) receptor kinases play important roles in promoting plant growth by controlling light-capturing processes, such as phototropism. Phototropism is mediated through the action of NON-PHOTOTROPIC HYPOCOTYL3 (NPH3), which is dephosphorylated following phot activation.

Phototropism: Bending towards Enlightenment [PDF]
The Plant Cell, 2006 Research on phototropism has had far-reaching consequences in the field of plant biology, from helping to refute the ancient misconception of plant insensitivity to the environment to the discovery of the plant hormone auxin and the identification of the phototropin photoreceptors.

Numerical Modeling of Photothermal Self‐Excited Composite Oscillators
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.We present a numerical framework for simulating photothermal self‐excited oscillations. The driving mechanism is elucidated by highlighting the roles of inertia and overshoot, as well as the phase lag between the thermal moment and the oscillation angle, which together construct the feedback loop between the system state and the environmental stimulus.
