“Osmotic Motors”–the best-documented explanation for plant leaf movements–frequently
reside in specialized motor leaf organs, pulvini. The movements result from dissimilar …

Plants have several kinds of photoreceptors, which regulate growth and development.
Recent investigations using Arabidopsis thaliana revealed that the newly found blue light …

The leaf of kidney bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) moves in response to blue light. The
movement is induced by a decrease in the turgor pressure of pulvinar motor cells on the …

Protoplasts isolated from the laminar pulvinus of Phaseolus vulgaris and bathed in a
medium containing KCl as the major salt were found to swell in response to IAA and to …

Light regulates cellular responses in leaves through a myriad of signalling cascades that
control the growth and fruit quality of tomatoes. The relationships between high light-induced …

对国内和海外中国科学家在植物光形态建成领域的研究进行了简要的总结和回顾.
本文内容包括光敏色素调节的反应及其信号转导, 蓝光反应及其信号转导, 光周期调节及光形态 …

Daily periodic plant leaf movements, known since antiquity, are dramatic manifestations of
“osmotic motors” regulated by the endogenous biological clock and by light, perceived by …

The Mimosa pudica leaf has motor organs allowing movements driven by cell osmotic
changes in the parenchyma cells in response to various stimuli. Short white light pulses …

Light is the most fundamental environmental force that governs the existence of life on the
Earth. The phenomenon of photosynthesis converted the anoxygenic atmosphere of …

The telegraph plant (Codariocalyx motorius) has drawn much interest among plant
physiologists because of its peculiar movements of the leaflets. While the terminal leaflets …
