Evolution of size and pattern in the social amoebas [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
A fundamental goal of biology is to understand how novel phenotypes evolved through changes in existing genes. The Dictyostelia or social amoebas represent a simple form of multicellularity, where starving cells aggregate to build fruiting structures ...

Slime mould tactile sensor [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Slime mould P. polycephalum is a single cells visible by unaided eye. The cells shows a wide spectrum of intelligent behaviour. By interpreting the behaviour in terms of computation one can make a slime mould based computing device.

Improved Slime Mold Algorithm with Dynamic Quantum Rotation Gate and Opposition-Based Learning for Global Optimization and Engineering Design Problems

open access: yesAlgorithms, 2022
The slime mold algorithm (SMA) is a swarm-based metaheuristic algorithm inspired by the natural oscillatory patterns of slime molds. Compared with other algorithms, the SMA is competitive but still suffers from unbalanced development and exploration and ...

Myxomycetes of the litter

open access: yesActa Mycologica, 2014
The litter is a useful substratum for developmen t of the Myxomycetes. On the basis of our own observations and literature data 50 species of the slime molds were found occuring on litter. Species from the order Physarales (33 species) are dominant.

Allorecognition behavior of slime mold plasmodium—Physarum rigidum slime sheath-mediated self-extension model [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
When allogeneic plasmodia of Myxomycetes encounter each other, they fuse or avoid each other depending on the combination, indicating that plasmodia can recognize self and non-self.

Patterns of cell movement within the Dictyostelium slug revealed by cell type-specific, surface labeling of living cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 1994
There are cells acattered in the rear, prespore region of the Dictyostelium slug that share many of the properties of the prestalk cells and that are therefore called anterior-like cells (ALCs).

Myxomycetes of the rotting cherry wood

open access: yesActa Mycologica, 2014
During the years 1974-1975 on rotting cherry wood development of some Myxomycetes was observed. In that time 6 species of slime molds were noted: Arcyria denudata, Comatricha typhoides, Dyctidium cancellatum, Lycogala epidendrum, Physarum cinereum ...

Conserved Subgroups of the Plant-Specific RWP-RK Transcription Factor Family Are Present in Oomycete Pathogens

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Nitrogen is a major constituent of proteins, chlorophyll, nucleotides, and hormones and has profound effects on plant growth and productivity. RWP-RK family transcription factors (TFs) are key regulators that bind to cis-acting elements in the promoter ...

Improving Moth-Flame Optimization Algorithm by using Slime-Mould Algorithm

open access: yesTikrit Journal of Pure Science, 2022
The MFO algorithm is one of the modern optimization algorithms based on swarm intelligence, and the SMA algorithm is also one of the latest algorithms in the same field and has the advantages of fast convergence, high convergence accuracy, robust and ...
