Reduced phototropism in pks mutants may be due to altered auxin-regulated gene expression or reduced lateral auxin transport

open access: yes, 2013
Phototropism allows plants to orient their photosynthetic organs towards the light. In Arabidopsis, phototropins 1 and 2 sense directional blue light such that phot1 triggers phototropism in response to low fluence rates, while both phot1 and phot2 ...

Is the Responsiveness to Light Related to the Differences in Stem Straightness among Populations of Pinus pinaster?

open access: yesPlants, 2019
Stem straightness is related to wood quality and yield. Although important genetic differences in stem straightness among the natural populations of Pinus pinaster are well established, the main drivers of these differences are not well known.

Adaptive Genomic Divergence Across Altitudes in Capsella bursa‐pastoris

open access: yesBiological Diversity, Volume 3, Issue 3, Page 125-135, September 2026.
Genomic divergence was observed between high‐altitude and low‐altitude populations of Capsella bursa‐pastoris in China, consistent with an important role of ecological factors. Candidate adaptive loci associated with enhanced energy metabolism, photoprotection, and growth plasticity under altitudinal stress were identified.

Low-fluence blue light-induced phosphorylation of Zmphot1 mediates the first positive phototropism

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Botany, 2019
Ser291 in Zmphot1 was identified as a low-fluence blue light-induced phosphorylation site that is crucial for the first positive phototropism.

Determination of phototropism by UV-B radiation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
UV-B phototropism in etiolated Arabidopsis seedlings has only been shown recently and needs further exploration. Here we elaborate on how to generate a customized setup with a unilateral UV-B light source, the required plant materials, different growth ...

Animating blossom: Time‐lapse to encourage plant awareness in the YouTube era

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1572-1583, September 2026.
Time‐lapse videos can effectively capture key traits of flower blossoms, such as color, 3D structure, and temporal changes, making them valuable complements to herbarium specimens and other botanical collections. Despite the abundance of such videos on YouTube, most provide no ecological and botanical insights.

High-gradient magnetic fields and starch metabolism: results from a space experiment

open access: yesScientific 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 ...
