This article describes a modular strategy to construct artificial cells able to regulate mammalian cell protein expression via vesicle‐based RNA communication. Considering the important role of extracellular vesicles in genetic information transfer, this artificial exosome design is a significant advance toward mimicking nucleic acid communication ...

UV-B radiation is an important part of the electromagnetic spectrum emitted by the sun. For much of the period of biological evolution organisms have been exposed to UV radiation, and have developed diverse mechanisms to cope with this potential stress ...

Lack of evidence for associative learning in pea plants
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.

The role of phot1 in triggering hypocotyl phototropism and optimizing growth orientation has been well-characterized in Arabidopsis, whereas the role of Zmphot1 in maize remains largely unclear.

From lab to field : yield stability and shade avoidance genes are massively differentially expressed in the field [PDF]
To unravel molecular mechanisms with the ultimate goal to achieve improved stress resilience or increased yield, plants are often studied under highly controlled conditions in which stresses are applied and in which growth‐ or architecture‐related traits

Photoreceptors Regulate Plant Developmental Plasticity through Auxin
Light absorption by plants changes the composition of light inside vegetation. Blue (B) and red (R) light are used for photosynthesis whereas far-red (FR) and green light are reflected.

[D-Leu1]MC-LR and MC-LR, two microcystins differing in one amino acid, constitute a sanitary and environmental problem owing to their frequent and concomitant presence in water bodies of the Americas and their association with human intoxication during ...

Climbing plants rely on suitable support to provide the light conditions they require in the canopy. Negative phototropism is a directional search behavior proposed to detect a support-tree, which indicates growth or movement away from light, based on ...

Determination of phototropism by UV-B radiation [PDF]
UV-B phototropism in etiolated Arabidopsis seedlings has only been shown recently and needs further exploration. Here we elaborate on how to generate a customized setup with a unilateral UV-B light source, the required plant materials, different growth ...

The impact of light and gravity on growth directions in a root system of Cucumis sativus L.
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.
