Linking Superoxide Production and Scavenging in Plant Development
Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Due to their strong oxidizing potential, rapid membrane permeability, and high reactivity, reactive oxygen species (ROS) play essential roles in plant development and stress responses. Superoxide (O2•‐) is a primary product of molecular oxygen reduction and a crucial source of hydrogen peroxide, representing a ROS species of substantial ...

Gradients of Aliveness and Engineering: A Taxonomy of Fungal Engineered Living Materials
Advanced Materials, Volume 38, Issue 5, 22 January 2026.This paper explores the potential of fungal engineered living materials (ELMs), examining fungal biology and growth mechanisms, which underpin their development. It presents a classification framework based on aliveness, scaffold composition, and engineering degree. Unique properties such as self‐healing, biosensing, and bioremediation are highlighted,

Plant Cognition—An Empirical Primer: Evidence, Implications, and Ethics
Philosophy Compass, Volume 21, Issue 1, January/February 2026.ABSTRACT Recent advances in plant biology suggest that plants engage in complex behaviours once thought to require nervous systems. This article surveys the empirical foundations of plant cognition, covering research on goal‐directed movement, decision‐making, anticipatory behaviour, communication, phytoacoustics, and plant neurobiology.

High-gradient magnetic fields and starch metabolism: results from a space experiment
Scientific Reports, 2022 Directing plant growth in weightlessness requires understanding the processes that establish plant orientation and how to manipulate them. Both gravi- and phototropism determine directional growth and previous experiments showed that high gradient ...

THE PHOTOTROPIC MECHANISM IN RANATRA [PDF]
Journal of General Physiology, 1924 Definite proof is obtained that in the phototropic orientation of Ranatra the relative postures of the appendages, resulting in a bilateral difference of effective stroke in swimming, is the mechanism of orientation; the frequency of locomotor movements is the same on the two sides of the body.

Can Mimosa pudica Plants Enumerate Light Exposure Events?
Cognitive Science, Volume 49, Issue 12, December 2025.Abstract Plants sense and respond to information present in their surrounding environment. Recent work has sought to characterize the limits of these information processing abilities. Here, we present evidence that the movements of Mimosa pudica plants are mediated by the number of illumination events to which they have been exposed.

Range Expansion of the Giant Water Bug Lethocerus patruelis (Stål, 1854) in Europe
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 11, November 2025.We modeled the expansion of the giant water bug, with a focus on niche dynamics and habitat suitability. Our results show evidence for an ongoing expansion, with strong potential for further spread under future climatic conditions. ABSTRACT Climate change is altering freshwater ecosystems, causing extinctions, range expansions, and facilitating ...

Journal of Research in Science Teaching, Volume 62, Issue 9, Page 2060-2079, November 2025.ABSTRACT Promoting argumentation based on evidence allows students to give meaning to the phenomena observed, enabling the construction of knowledge. Children's argumentative discourse can be activated by appropriate instruction, but there is little information on argumentation at early ages and there is a need for the teacher to understand how to ...
