Plant blue-light receptors.
Plants have several blue-light receptors, which regulate different aspects of growth and development. Recent studies have identified three such receptors: cryptochrome 1, cryptochrome 2 and phototropin. Cryptochromes 1 and 2 are photolyase-like receptors that regulate hypocotyl growth and flowering time; phototropin mediates phototropism in response to blue light. In addition, phytochrome A has...
متن کاملOptogenetics: Control of Brain Using Light
Neuronal cells communicate with each other by producing electrical signals or action potentials (APs). Different ion channels, including Na+, K+ and Ca2+ channels, are involved in generation of AP. Once an AP is generated in the soma, it travels down entire the axon length toward its terminal in a self-generating fashion that ultimately conveys information between neurons in the neural circuit....
متن کاملBlue light receptors and signal transduction.
A plant blue light response was documented as early as 1881 by Darwin when he discovered what is now known as the blue light–induced phototropic response (Darwin, 1881). However, blue light receptors mediating phototropism and other photoresponses in plants have remained elusive until recently. On the basis of molecular genetic studies in Arabidopsis, it is clear now that there are two types of...
متن کاملLight up your life: optogenetics for depression?
In the last year, several new studies have shown the po tential of optogenetic stimulation to rapidly modify depressionand anxiety-related behaviours in animal models. Optogenetic technology, as described in a previous editorial, gives a whole new meaning to “light therapy” that is potentially more effective and rapid and has fewer adverse effects than classic light therapy or pharmacological a...
متن کاملShining a light on optogenetics
O ptogenetics is relatively new and has attracted much interest since the first publications from the field in the early 2000s. Both researchers and the media are fascinated by the notions it conjures of bionic implants. Notwithstanding potential applications, the technology has quickly become an important research tool in neuroscience with potential for developing a range of novel therapeutic ...
