Swarming Behavior in Plant Roots
Interactions between individuals that are guided by simple rules can generate swarming behavior. Swarming behavior has been observed in many groups of organisms, including humans, and recent research has revealed that plants also demonstrate social behavior based on mutual interaction with other individuals. However, this behavior has not previously been analyzed in the context of swarming. Her...
متن کاملSwarms, swarming and entanglements of fungal hyphae and of plant roots
There has been recent interest in the possibility that plant roots can show oriented collective motion, or swarming behavior. We examine the evidence supportive of root swarming and we also present new observations on this topic. Seven criteria are proposed for the definition of a swarm, whose application can help identify putative swarming behavior in plants. Examples where these criteria are ...
متن کاملPrevalence of surface swarming behavior in Salmonella.
Swarming behavior among 167 Salmonella sp. isolates, representing all eight groups, was assessed. Only eight strains failed to swarm under standard conditions. Four of the defective strains swarmed on alternate carbon sources, and four harbored general defects in motility or lipopolysaccharide. Thus, swarming may represent an evolutionarily conserved behavior in Salmonella spp.
متن کاملAbsorption behavior of technetium and rhenium through plant roots
The absorption behavior of technetium (Tc) and rhenium (Re) through plant roots was studied using nutrient solution culture. Radish samples, grown in culture solutions for 20-30 days in a greenhouse, were transferred into plastic vessels containing nutrient solutions contaminated with multitracer solutions including Tc and Re. The plant samples were grown individually for 1-7 days under laborat...
متن کاملSwarming Behavior Emerging from the Uptake–Kinetics Feedback Control in a Plant-Root-Inspired Robot
This paper presents a plant root behavior-based approach to defining the control architecture of a plant-root-inspired robot, which is composed of three root-agents for nutrient uptake and one shoot-agent for nutrient redistribution. By taking inspiration and extracting key principles from the uptake of nutrient, movements and communication strategies adopted by plant roots, we developed an upt...
