The Arabidopsis PHYTOCHROME KINASE SUBSTRATE2 protein is a phototropin signaling element that regulates leaf flattening and leaf positioning. [PDF]

, 2010
In Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana), the blue light photoreceptor phototropins (phot1 and phot2) fine-tune the photosynthetic status of the plant by controlling several important adaptive processes in response to environmental light variations.

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

Functional Analysis of MAX2 in Phototropins-Mediated Cotyledon Flattening in Arabidopsis

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018
Phototropins (phot1 and phot2) are blue-light receptors that control cotyledon flattening and positioning under strong light; however, their functional redundancy restricts our understanding of the specific roles of phot2.

The Asymmetric Expression of SAUR Genes Mediated by ARF7/19 Promotes the Gravitropism and Phototropism of Plant Hypocotyls

Cell Reports, 2020
Summary: The asymmetric distribution of auxin leads to the bending growth of hypocotyls during gravitropic and phototropic responses, but the signaling events downstream of auxin remain unclear.

The architecture of resilience: a genome assembly of Myrothamnus flabellifolia sheds light on desiccation tolerance and sex determination

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Myrothamnus flabellifolia is a dioecious resurrection plant endemic to southern Africa that has become an important model for understanding desiccation tolerance. Despite its ecological and medicinal significance, genomic and transcriptomic resources for the species are limited.
