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.

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 ...

The photosensory function of Zmphot1 differs from that of Atphot1 due to the C-terminus of Zmphot1 during phototropic response

Crop Journal, 2023
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.

Microtubule-severing enzymes: From cellular functions to molecular mechanism. [PDF]

, 2018
Microtubule-severing enzymes generate internal breaks in microtubules. They are conserved in eukaryotes from ciliates to mammals, and their function is important in diverse cellular processes ranging from cilia biogenesis to cell division, phototropism ...

Phototropism: Mechanism and Outcomes [PDF]

The Arabidopsis Book, 2010
Plants have evolved a wide variety of responses that allow them to adapt to the variable environmental conditions in which they find themselves growing. One such response is the phototropic response - the bending of a plant organ toward (stems and leaves) or away from (roots) a directional blue light source.

UV-B induced generation of reactive oxygen species promotes formation of BFA-induced compartments in cells of Arabidopsis root apices

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016
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

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.

Photoreceptors Regulate Plant Developmental Plasticity through Auxin

Plants, 2020
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: A Small–Large Difference: Significantly Different Effects on Phaseolus vulgaris L. (Fabaceae) Growth and Phototropic Response after Single Contact during Imbibition with Each of These Microcystin Variants

Toxins, 2020
[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 ...

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
