Furthermore,analytical tools such as game theory, employed to model animal behavior, have also been applied to plants (e.g. 42, 54). There is some question whetherwords used to describe animal behavior, such as the word behavior itself, or foraging, can be properly applied to the activities of plants.

  • Identifying Molecular Functions of Heliotropic Motor Tissue Through Proteomic Analysis of Soybean Pulvini
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: IDENTIFYING MOLECULAR FUNCTIONS OF HELIOTROPIC MOTOR TISSUE THROUGH PROTEOMIC ANALYSIS OF SOYBEAN PULVINI Hakme Lee, M.S., 2012 Directed By: Professor Joseph Sullivan, Plant Sciences and Landscape Architecture Heliotropic and nyctinastic leaf movement are mediated in soybean through turgor changes in the motor cells of the pulvinus, located at the base of the leaves. While some elements of the signaling pathways have been studied, a broad-scale protein identification has not yet been reported. In my research pulvini proteins were extracted in light- and dark-harvested soybean using the TCA/acetone method and identified by LC-MS/MS. Gene ontology analysis revealed proteins involved in proton transport were enriched in the soybean pulvinus proteome compared to a background soybean proteome. Proteins more highly expressed in the light were mostly stress response proteins, while under-expressed proteins were categorized as energy proteins. Further investigations using more sensitive extraction protocols and a multitude of sample times will build on these initial results to provide a thorough examination of heliotropic mechanisms at the molecular level.

  • What Do Plants Need Action Potentials For?
    In: Action Potential ISBN 978-1-61668-833-2 Editor: Marc L. DuBois, pp. 1-26 © 2010 Nova Science Publishers, Inc. Chapter 1 WHAT DO PLANTS NEED ACTION POTENTIALS FOR? Elżbieta Król, Halina Dziubińska, and Kazimierz Trębacz Department of Biophysics, Institute of Biology, Maria Curie-Skłodowska University, Akademicka 19, 20–033 Lublin, Poland ABSTRACT For many years the physiological significance of electrical signalling in plants has been neglected, even though the very first action potentials (APs) were recorded in insectivorous plants in 1873 (1). Still many aspects of plant excitability are not sufficiently well elaborated. However, nowadays it is common knowledge that in animals as well as in plants: (i) ion fluxes through plasma membrane provide AP biophysical bases; (ii) AP transmission is electrotonic, without a decrement and is followed by a refractory period; (iii) there is an ―all-or-nothing‖ principle fulfilled, with an exponential dependency of threshold stimulus strength on stimulus duration; (iv) APs are initiated and propagated by excitable tissues to control a plethora of responses indispensable for growth, nutrient winning, reproduction, and defence against biotic and abiotic challenges. AP can be viewed as a burst of electrical activity that is dependent on a depolarizing current. In plants the depolarization phase of AP consists of Cl-- and Ca2+-fluxes. The following phase—a repolarization—relies in turn on K+ fluxes and active H+ flows that both drive membrane potential back to more negative values. Thus, the AP mechanism is electrochemically governed by the selective properties of the plasma membrane with ion selective conduits as key players. A more detailed understanding of how these membrane proteins work hand in hand during excitation and signal transduction is eagerly awaited.

  • Root Tropisms: New Insights Leading the Growth Direction of the Hidden Half
    plants Editorial Root Tropisms: New Insights Leading the Growth Direction of the Hidden Half Luigi Gennaro Izzo * and Giovanna Aronne Department of Agricultural Sciences, University of Naples Federico II, Via Università 100, 80055 Portici, Italy; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Tropisms are essential responses of plants, orienting growth according to a wide range of stimuli. Recently, considerable attention has been paid to root tropisms, not only to improve cultivation systems, such as those developed for plant-based life support systems for future space programs, but also to increase the efficiency of root apparatus in water and nutrient uptake in crops on Earth. To date, the Cholodny–Went theory of differential auxin distribution remains the principal tropistic mechanism, but recent findings suggest that it is not generally applicable to all root tropisms, and new molecular pathways are under discussion. Therefore, an in-depth understanding of the mechanisms and functions underlying root tropisms is needed. Contributions to this special issue aimed to embrace reviews and research articles that deepen molecular, physiological, and anatom- ical processes orchestrating root tropisms from perception of the stimulus to bending. The new insights will help in elucidating plant–environment interactions, providing potential applications to improve plant growth on Earth and in space where microgravity diminishes or nullifies the gravitropism dominance.

  • Immediate Response to Stimulus
    BIOLOGY CONTROL AND COORDINATION Chemical Coordination in Plants Plants do not have nervous system. They exhibit different mechanisms to respond to stimuli. Immediate Response to Stimulus Nastic Movements The movement of a plant in response to an external stimulus in which the direction of response is not determined by the direction of stimulus is called nastic movement. Nastic movements are shown by flat parts of the plants such as leaves and petals. Examples: 1. Daisy flowers close at dusk and open at daybreak; this may be referred to as sleep movements. 2. Mimosa pudica or the touch-me-not plant has tiny leaflets which fold up in response to mechanical stimuli such as touch, drops of rain or even a gust of wind. This quick response is due to the sudden loss of water from the cells in its swollen leaf base. This response however should not be confused with thigmotropism as the folding of leaves always occurs in the same direction irrespective of the direction of the stimulus. www.topperlearning.com 2 BIOLOGY CONTROL AND COORDINATION Photonasty is a nastic movement to the light and dark phases of the day. Examples: 1. Flowers of primrose blossom during the evening but close during the day. 2. Moon flowers close their petals in the morning when there is bright light, and they open when the light fades. Nyctinasty is the movement in response to dark. Certain parts of a plant such as the leaves and flowers take up a different posture at night than that in the day. Example: Leaves of the rain tree fold by nightfall.
