Air Channels in Plants: A Key Factor for Light Sensing and Bending
Plants have no visual organs, so how do they know where light comes from? In an original study combining expertise in biology and engineering, the team led by Prof Christian Fankhauser at UNIL, in collaboration with colleagues at EPFL, has uncovered that a light-sensitive plant tissue uses the optical properties of the interface between air and water to generate a light gradient that is "visible" to the plant. These results have been published in the journal Science.
