55 results about "Phototropism" patented technology

Phototropism is the growth of an organism in response to a light stimulus. Phototropism is most often observed in plants, but can also occur in other organisms such as fungi. The cells on the plant that are farthest from the light have a chemical called auxin that reacts when phototropism occurs. This causes the plant to have elongated cells on the furthest side from the light. Phototropism is one of the many plant tropisms or movements which respond to external stimuli. Growth towards a light source is called positive phototropism, while growth away from light is called negative phototropism (skototropism). Most plant shoots exhibit positive phototropism, and rearrange their chloroplasts in the leaves to maximize photosynthetic energy and promote growth. Some vine shoot tips exhibit negative phototropism, which allows them to grow towards dark, solid objects and climb them. The combination of phototropism and gravitropism allow plants to grow in the correct direction.

Sunken flower-bed mosquito catching device

The invention relates to a sunken flower-bed mosquito catching device, which comprises a basin body buried in green space, wherein a spawning cavity is formed in the basin body; an isolation net is arranged at a basin opening; the space below the isolation net is used as an eclosion chamber; a water body below the eclosion chamber is used as an insectary; the basin body is provided with an inlet and an outlet for frogs; green fences are planted on the periphery of the basin body to provide habitats for mosquitoes; a cover net is covered outside the green fences; and the frogs are enclosed and limited in the cover net. Female mosquitoes fly into the spawning chamber from the cover net and spawn on a water surface at a spawning opening in a floating ring, mosquito larvae descend due to phototropism, swim into the bright insectary from the gap at the bottom and find food in water to pupate, and adult mosquitoes subjected to eclosion are trapped in the eclosion chamber, so that a reproduction chain is interrupted. At night, a solar-cell panel on the cover net turns on a moth-killing lamp, so that the mosquitoes and winged insects are attracted to feed the frogs, and the frogs can enter a floating platform of the insectary to keep watch and prey on the mosquitoes in the eclosion chamber and also can descend to the basin bottom for aestivation or hibernation. The sunken flower-bed mosquito catching device can be arranged in living quarters or beauty spots to control the reproduction of malarial mosquitoes and prevent malaria from propagating.

Productivity and Bioproduct Formation in Phototropin Knock/Out Mutants in Microalgae

Phototropin is a blue light receptor, which mediates a variety of blue-light elicited physiological processes in plants and algae. In higher plants these processes include phototropism, chloroplast movement and stomatal opening. In the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, phototropin plays a vital role in progression of the sexual life cycle and in the control of the eye spot size and light sensitivity Phototropin is also involved in blue-light mediated changes in the synthesis of chlorophylls, carotenoids, chlorophyll binding proteins. We compared the transcriptome of phototropin knock out (PHOT KO) mutant and wild-type parent to analyze differences in gene expression in high light grown cultures (500 μmol photons m−2 s−1). Our results indicate the up-regulation of genes involved in photosynthetic electron transport chain, carbon fixation pathway, starch, lipid, and cell cycle control genes. With respect to photosynthetic electron transport genes, genes encoding proteins of the cytochrome b6f and ATP synthase complex were up regulated potentially facilitating proton-coupled electron transfer. In addition genes involved in limiting steps in the Calvin cycle Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (RuBisCO), Sidoheptulose 1,7 bisphosphatase (SBPase), Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (3PGDH) and that mediate cell-cycle control (CDK) were also up regulated along with starch synthase and fatty acid biosynthesis genes involved in starch and lipid synthesis. In addition, transmission electron micrographs show increased accumulation of starch granules in PHOT mutant compared to wild type, which is consistent with the higher expression of starch synthase genes. Collectively, the altered patterns of gene expression in the PHOT mutants were associated with a two-fold increase in growth and biomass accumulation compared to wild type when grown in environmental photobioreactors (Phenometrics) that simulate a pond environment. In conclusion, our studies suggest that phototropin may be a master gene regulator that suppresses rapid cell growth and promotes gametogenesis and sexual recombination in wild type strains.
