Early Flowering 3 (ELF3) Inhibits Hypocotyl Phototropism in Light‐Grown Arabidopsis Seedlings

Plant Direct
Phototropic bending of plants towards a light source allows them to position their photosynthetic tissues to optimize light capture. In light‐grown (de‐etiolated) Arabidopsis seedlings, phototropic bending of the hypocotyl is inhibited by light with a ...

Pyrrolic‐Nitrogen‐Enriched Aerogels With Magnetic Responsiveness Enable Cooperative Hydrogen‐Bond Regulation for High‐Performance Solar Interfacial Evaporation

Carbon Energy, Volume 8, Issue 4, April 2026.
A pyrrolic‐nitrogen‐enriched ferromagnetic aerogel enables sophisticated cooperative regulation of hydrogen bonding, whereby this dual‐regulatory mechanism effectively reduces vaporization enthalpy while simultaneously enhancing molecular dynamics. The system demonstrates exceptional self‐cleaning capability and exhibits superior performance in the ...

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 ...

MIZU-KUSSEI1 (MIZ1) and GNOM/MIZ2 control not only positive hydrotropism but also phototropism in Arabidopsis roots

, 2023
In response to unilateral blue light illumination, roots of some plant species such as Arabidopsis thaliana exhibit negative phototropism (bending away from light), which is important for light avoidance in nature.

As above, so below: A perspective into the application of land‐forest monitoring methods for the assessment of marine animal forests

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 4, Page 1124-1142, April 2026.
Abstract Marine animal forests (MAFs) are benthic ecosystems dominated by vertically structuring filter‐ and suspension‐feeders. As terrestrial forests, they are considered biodiversity hotspots, forming canopies, serving as a refuge, nursery, reproduction and feeding shelters for many species.

Linking Superoxide Production and Scavenging in Plant Development

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 4, Page 2048-2068, April 2026.
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 ...

Plant Robotics for Sustainable and Environmentally Friendly Robots: Insights from Actuation Characteristics

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 15, 13 March 2026.
Plants are promising materials for building sustainable and eco‐friendly robots due to their inherent multifunctionality, with actuation playing a crucial role. This article focuses on the physical movements of plants and, from the perspective of actuation characteristics, explores representative plant species and their behaviors, the current state of ...

OsAux1 is required for nutritropism in rice roots

The Plant Journal, Volume 125, Issue 5, March 2026.
SUMMARY Nutritropism is a directional root growth response to nutrient gradients, and rice (Oryza sativa L.) roots show nutritropism toward sources containing ammonium. Here, we report characterization of an EMS‐mutagenized rice plant that shows a complete defect in nutritropism.

Phytochrome kinase substrate1 regulates root phototropism and gravitropism [PDF]

, 2008
Light promotes the expression of PHYTOCHROME KINASE SUBSTRATE1 (PKS1) in the root of Arabidopsis thaliana, but the function of PKS1 in this organ is unknown.
