Can Plants Move Like Animals? A Three-Dimensional Stereovision Analysis of Movement in Plants

Animals, 2021
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.

Temporal dynamics of plant movement under task constraints [PDF]

Movement Ecology
Background Movement time (MT) reflects how organisms adjust their movements to environmental constraints. In climbing plants, successful attachment to external supports depends on the temporal organization of their exploratory movements (i.e ...

Leaf Movements of Indoor Plants Monitored by Terrestrial LiDAR

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018
Plant leaf movement is induced by some combination of different external and internal stimuli. Detailed geometric characterization of such movement is expected to improve understanding of these mechanisms.

Classifying Circumnutation in Pea Plants via Supervised Machine Learning

Plants, 2023
Climbing plants require an external support to grow vertically and enhance light acquisition. Climbers that find a suitable support demonstrate greater performance and fitness than those that remain prostrate.

The cracking of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) cones

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Pine cones show functionally highly resilient, hygroscopically actuated opening and closing movements, which are repeatable and function even in millions of years old, coalified cones.

Movement of Plant Nutrients

EDIS, 2020
This new two-page document discusses soil-applied and foliar fertilization for citrus trees as well as mobile and immobile nutrients and how they affect the choice of fertilization.

Decision-Making Underlying Support-Searching in Pea Plants

Plants, 2023
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.

Watching plants’ dance: movements of live and dead branches linked to atmospheric water demand

Ecosphere, 2021
Diurnal branch movements in woody plants have only recently been described in detail. While previously only vegetative and reproductive structures have been known to move on hourly timescales, imaging technologies such as terrestrial laser scanning and ...

Shapeshifting in the Venus flytrap (Dionaea muscipula): Morphological and biomechanical adaptations and the potential costs of a failed hunting cycle

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
The evolutionary roots of carnivory in the Venus flytrap (Dionaea muscipula) stem from a defense response to plant injury caused by, e.g., herbivores. Dionaea muscipula aka.

Quantification of Circadian Movement of Small-Leaved Lime (Tilia cordata Mill.) Saplings With Short Interval Terrestrial Laser Scanning

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020
The goal of the study was to quantify and identify patterns in circadian movements of small-leaved lime (Tillia cordata) saplings with the help of terrestrial laser scanning (TLS).
