Light as Stress Factor to Plant Roots – Case of Root Halotropism
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2014 Despite growing underground, largely in darkness, roots emerge to be very sensitive to light. Recently, several important papers have been published which reveal that plant roots not only express all known light receptors but also that their growth ...

Photo‐Switching Thermal and Lithium‐Ion Conductivity in Azobenzene Polymers
Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 17, 26 February 2026.Light‐responsive azobenzene polymers control thermal and ionic transport simultaneously through structural transitions. UV illumination disrupts π–π stacking, converting crystalline trans states to amorphous cis configurations. Thermal conductivity drops from 0.45 to 0.15 W·m−1·K−1 while Li+ diffusivity increases 100 fold. This dual transport switching

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,

Phytochrome A Mediates Blue-light Enhancement of Second-positive Phototropism in Arabidopsis
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016 Hypocotyl phototropism of etiolated Arabidopsis seedlings is primarily mediated by the blue-light receptor kinase phototropin 1 (phot1). Phot1-mediated curvature to continuous unilateral blue light irradiation (0.5 µmol m-2 s-1) is enhanced by overhead ...

PLoS ONE, 2019 Perception of inclination in the gravity field and perception of light direction are two important environmental signals implicated in the control of plant shape and habit. However, their quantitative study in light-grown plants remains a challenge.

Magnetic field effects on plant growth, development and evolution
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2014 The geomagnetic field (GMF) is a natural component of our environment. Plants, which are known to sense different wavelengths of light, respond to gravity, react to touch and electrical signaling, cannot escape the effect of GMF.

Phototropin mediated ultraviolet-B phototropism in etiolated seedlings [PDF]
, 2016 Low doses of ultraviolet B (UV-B) light have significant effects on plant morphology [1]. In Arabidopsis, many UV-B induced morphological modifications have been ascribed to the UV-B specific receptor UV resistance locus 8 (UVR8).

Textes & Contextes, 2019 One of the most seductive aspects of Hopper paintings is the sheer visual potency of their painted surface, the lavish formal trap of line and color that the artist has composed.

Transient Photoreceptor Phototropism in Developing Mouse Retina
, 2019 This work focuses on quantifying the response of mouse rod photoreceptors to a light stimulus during developmental ages. The purpose is to have a better comprehension of the physiological mechanisms underlying transient retinal phototropism.
