Botanical Fabrication: A research project at the intersection of design, botany and horticulture [PDF]
, 2015 ‘Botanical Fabrication’ is an on-going research initiative which investigates how an understanding of botany and horticultural techniques can challenge the design process and lead to alternative sustainable manufacturing or ‘eco-facturing’ tools.

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 ...

New Phytologist, Volume 247, Issue 6, Page 2839-2851, September 2025.Summary Plants detect the presence of nearby vegetation as a reduced ratio of red to far‐red light (low R : FR). This proximity shade signal can be simulated in the lab by supplementing white light (W) with FR (W + FR). While shade avoidance strategies are considered undesirable in agricultural crops, FR supplementation enhances plant growth and fruit ...

Phycomyces MADB interacts with MADA to form the primary photoreceptor complex for fungal phototropism [PDF]
, 2009 The fungus Phycomyces blakesleeanus reacts to environmental signals, including light, gravity, touch, and the presence of nearby objects, by changing the speed and direction of growth of its fruiting body (sporangiophore).

An investigation of the phototropic effect on seedling orientation in a microgravity environment: A student involvement project [PDF]
, 1984 A microgravity growth chamber was designed to investigate the phototropic response of radish seedlings. Enclosed in a one fourth inch thick, hexagonal, fiberglass-foam spacepak nineteen inches across corners, the experiment consists of a growth chamber ...

Direct activation of RNA polymerase III transcription by c-Myc
, 2003 The proto-oncogene product c-Myc has a direct role in both metazoan cell growth and division. RNA polymerase III (pol III) is involved in the generation of transfer RNA and 5S ribosomal RNA, and these molecules must be produced in bulk to meet the need ...

Lionfish (Pterois volitans) Show Social Attraction to Conspecifics When Selecting Shelters
Ethology, Volume 131, Issue 8, Page 31-38, August 2025.ABSTRACT Group formation in animals can arise from two primary mechanisms: individuals aggregating over resources, or individuals socially benefiting from interacting with conspecifics. Distinguishing between these mechanisms allows us to infer the drivers of group formation, which is of considerable importance for informing management strategies of ...
