Phytochrome Effects in the Nyctinastic Leaf Movements of Albizzia Julibrissin and Some Other Legumes1 2 William S
Plant Physiol. (1967) 42, 1413-1418 Phytochrome Effects in the Nyctinastic Leaf Movements of Albizzia julibrissin and Some Other Legumes1 2 William S. Hillman and Willard L. Koukkari Biology Department, Brookhaven National Laboratory, Upton, New York 11973 Received June 5, 1967. Summnary. Participation of phytochrome 'is evident in the nyctinastic responise of leaves of Albizzia julibrissin (silk-tree), Albizzia lophantha, Leucaena glauca, Poinciana gilliesi and Calliandra inequilatera; closure of excised pairs of pinnules upon darkening is rapid following red illumination and slow following far-red. Under good conditions the difiference is obvious within 10 minutes. These observations conifirm a report by Fondeville, Borthwick, and Hendricks on the sensitive plant, Mimosa pudica, but indicate that the efifect bears no necessary relationship to the anomalous sensitivity of Mimosa. In A. julibrissin, phytochrome control is mnarked in experiments conducted early in the daily 12-hour light period and appears absent, or nearly so, toward the end of the light period, perhaps due to interaction with an endogenous circadian rhythm. Effects of leaf maturity and of the position of a pinnule-pair within a leaf are also evident. Tih-ese results are not easily reconciled with hypotheses of phytochrome action through gene activation and nucleic acid synthesis, but are consistent with hypothess ibased onl permeability changes and membrane properties. The mgnitude and reproducibility of the response in A. jutlibrissin suggest its use as a lajboratory exercise; this and related systems should prove valuable for eventuai identification of the mechanism of phytochrome action. Fondeville, Borthwick, and Hendricks (2) re- pinnately twice-compound leaves generally similar in ported on a role of phytochrome in the nyctinastic character to those of Mimosa pudica, (but not obviously response of the sensitive plant, Mimnosa pudica: closure sensitive to the touch.

Fast nastic motion of plants and bio-inspired structures Q. Guo1,2, E. Dai3, X. Han4, S. Xie5, E. Chao3, Z.

Remarkably, some plants have evolved the ability to react to mechanical stimuli within a few seconds despite a lack of muscles and nerves. The fast movements of plants in response to mechanical stimuli have long captured the curiosity of scientists and engineers, but the mechanisms behind these rapid thigmonastic movements still are not understood completely. In this article, we provide an overview of such thigmonastic movements in several representative plants, including Dionaea, Utricularia, Aldrovanda, Drosera, and Mimosa. In addition, we review a series of studies that present biomimetic structures inspired by fast moving plants. We hope that this article will shed light on the current status of research on the fast movements of plants and bioinspired struc- tures and also promote interdisciplinary studies on both the fundamental mechanisms of plants’ fast movements and biomimetic structures for engineering applications, such as artiﬁcial muscles, multi-stable structures, and bioinspired robots.

Control and Coordination Class
BY SMT. RENUKA BALA BHAKAT AECS , NARWAPAHAR TYPES OF MOVEMENTS 1. TROPIC MOVEMENTS 2. NASTIC MOVEMENTS Movement of plant towards the stimulus is called tropic movement . Phototropism – Movement of plant towards light is called phototropism. Shoot grow towards light. Shoot is positively phototropic while root is negatively phototropic . Movement of plants in response to gravity is called geotropism . Roots are positively geotropic and shoots are negatively geotropic . Growth of plants towards water is called hydrotropism . Roots grow towards water. Movement of plants towards chemicals is called chemotropism . Growth of pollen tube towards ovule is an example of chemotropism. Nastic movement is not a directional movement of the plant part with response to the stimulus. In nastic movement, from whichever direction the stimulus is applied, it affects all the parts of the organ of a plant equally and they always move in the same direction . Mimosa pudica (touch me not) Plant hormones are signal molecules, produced within plants, that occur in extremely low concentrations. Plant hormones control all aspects of plant growth and development, from embryogenesis to regulation of organ size, pathogen defense, stress tolerance and reproductive development. The auxin group of hormones has a wide range of uses in a plant. Auxin molecules are found in all tissues in a plant. However, they tend to be concentrated in the meristems, growth centres which are at the forefront of growth. These centres release auxin molecules, which are then distributed towards the roots. In this way, the plant can coordinate its size, and the growth and development of different tissues based on the gradient of the auxin concentration.

Chemoattractive Mechanisms in Filamentous Fungi
Send Orders for Reprints to [email protected] 28 The Open Mycology Journal, 2014, 8, (Suppl-1, M2) 28-57 Open Access Chemoattractive Mechanisms in Filamentous Fungi Alexander Lichius1,* and Kathryn M. Lord2 1Institute of Chemical Engineering, Vienna University of Technology, Austria 2School of Biological Sciences, The University of Edinburgh, Scotland, United Kingdom Abstract: Research on cell communication and differentiation in filamentous fungi has provided a number of novel insights into chemoattractive mechanisms in recent years. Still, identification of specific chemoattractant molecules, cognate receptors and downstream signaling pathways is strongly biased towards those involved in mating; probably due to the relative ease of functional genomic comparison to the budding yeast model. The multicellular nature of filamentous fungi, however, preserved a more complex morphology compared to unicellular fungi and revealed chemoattractive mechanisms lost during yeast evolution. Two hallmarks of this higher complexity are the formation of an interconnected colony network and the development of elaborate sexual reproductive organs. Morphogenesis of both structures depends on two different modes of chemoattraction: attraction to self and attraction to nonself. Nonself chemoattraction between genetically distinct mating partners is the basis for sexual reproduction and generally regulated through a bilateral sex- pheromone/cognate-receptor system, widely but not exclusively equivalent to that known from yeasts. In contrast, self- chemoattraction between genetically identical cells is regulated independently of the sex-pheromone/cognate-receptor systems, and does not exist in yeast. Although both chemoattractive modes do share a number of molecular components, we are only beginning to understand how cell morphogenesis is regulated by means of gene expression and targeted protein recruitment during the establishment of self-fusion.

Chemical Gradients and Chemotropism in Yeast

Arkowitz Institute of Developmental Biology and Cancer, Universite´ de Nice - Sophia Antipolis – CNRS UMR6543, Centre de Biochimie, Faculte´ des Sciences, Parc Valrose, 06108 Nice Cedex 2, FRANCE Correspondence: [email protected] Chemical gradients of peptide mating pheromones are necessary for directional growth, which is critical for yeast mating. These gradients are generated by cell-type specific secretion or export and specific degradation in receiving cells. Spatial information is sensed by dedicated seven-transmembrane G-protein coupled receptors and yeast cells are able to detect extremely small differences in ligand concentration across their 5-mm cell surface. Here, I will discuss our current knowledge of how cells detect and respond to such shallow chemical gradients and in particular what is known about the proteins that are involved in directional growth and the establishment of the polarity axis during yeast mating. hemical gradients play critical roles in a G-proteins, as well the mechanisms involved Clarge number of developmental processes. in detection of small differences in ligand con- These gradients, which are precisely controlled centration across a yeast cell.
