Can Plants Move Like Animals? A Three-Dimensional Stereovision Analysis of Movement in Plants
In this article we adapt a methodology customarily used to investigate movement in animals to study the movement of plants. The targeted movement is circumnutation, a helical organ movement widespread among plants.

Decision-Making Underlying Support-Searching in Pea Plants
Finding a suitable support is a key process in the life history of climbing plants. Those that find a suitable support have greater performance and fitness than those that remain prostrate.

Intercropping can reduce agricultural pest incidence and represents an important sustainable alternative to conventional pest control methods. Citrus intercropped with guava (Psidium guajava L.) has a lower incidence of Asian citrus psyllid (ACP ...

Trees often exist in a complex ecological system with many biological interactions. Here we examine kin interactions of Pseudotsuga menziesii var. glauca (interior Douglas-fir) both in the context of pure kin stands, in accordance with established plant ...

Sensitive plant (Mimosa pudica) hiding time depends on individual and state. [PDF]
The decisions animals make to adjust their antipredator behavior to rapidly changing conditions have been well studied. Inducible defenses in plants are an antipredator behavior that acts on a longer time scale, but sensitive plants, Mimosa pudica, have ...

Behavior and Impact of Zirconium in the Soil–Plant System: Plant Uptake and Phytotoxicity [PDF]
Because of the large number of sites they pollute, toxic metals that contaminate terrestrial ecosystems are increasingly of environmental and sanitary concern (Uzu et al. 2010, 2011; Shahid et al. 2011a, b, 2012a).

Identity recognition and plant behavior [PDF]
The ability to distinguish self from non-self allows organisms to protect themselves against attackers. Sagebrush plants use volatile cues emitted by clipped neighbors to adjust their defenses against herbivores. Recently, we reported that cues from genetically identical 'self' clones were more effective at reducing damage than were cues from 'non-self'

Non-adiabatic elimination of auxiliary modes in continuous quantum measurements [PDF]
When measuring a complex quantum system, we are often interested in only a few degrees of freedom-the plant, while the rest of them are collected as auxiliary modes-the bath.
