Introduction to Developmental Psychology

1.5K
Developmental psychology explores the changes and continuities in human abilities throughout life, encompassing physical, cognitive, linguistic, and social dimensions. Human development is not restricted to growth, but includes aspects of decline, particularly in physical abilities as individuals age. Developmental psychologists seek to understand how people change as they age and how their mental and social skills evolve.Developmental MilestonesA key concept in developmental psychology is...

Three Developmental Domains01:29

Three Developmental Domains

1.1K
Human development is typically examined across three main domains: physical, cognitive, and socio-emotional. These domains represent the significant areas of change and continuity throughout the lifespan, from infancy to late adulthood.
Physical Development
Physical processes, also known as maturation, encompass the biological changes that occur across an individual's life. These changes begin with genetic inheritance and continue through various stages, including growth in height and weight,...

Anatomical Movements

15.5K
Anatomical movements refer to the various actions or motions that can be performed by the body's joints and muscles. These movements are described using specific terms to provide a standardized way of discussing and understanding the range of motion at different joints.
Here are some common anatomical movements:
Flexion and extension motions are in the sagittal (anterior–posterior) plane of motion. These movements take place at the shoulder, hip, elbow, knee, wrist,...

The Movement of Organelles and Vesicles

6.3K
In eukaryotic cells,  cytoskeletal filaments such as actin, microtubules, and intermediate filaments form a mesh-like cytoskeletal network. These filaments serve as tracks for transporting cellular cargo. Specialized motor proteins use the chemical energy stored in adenosine triphosphate (ATP) for this transport. During interphase, microtubules are polarized, with the plus-end towards the cell periphery and the minus-end towards the cell center. Two microtubule-associated motor proteins,...

Movement Joints in Buildings

340
Movement joints in buildings are essential design elements that accommodate inevitable motions caused by various factors such as temperature changes, moisture content variations, and structural deflections. These motions, if not considered in design and construction, can lead to unsightly or dangerous damage. Movement joints are incorporated in different forms to manage these stresses and allow materials to move without causing distress.
The simplest type of movement joints, working joints, are...

Fluid Movement Between Compartments01:18

Fluid Movement Between Compartments

3.8K
The force applied by fluids against a surface, known as hydrostatic pressure, initiates the transfer of fluid among different compartments. Within our blood vessels, the blood's hydrostatic pressure is a result of the heart's pumping action. At the arteriolar end of capillaries, hydrostatic pressure (capillary blood pressure) exceeds the opposing colloid osmotic pressure created primarily by plasma proteins like albumin. This discrepancy in pressure propels plasma and nutrients from the...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Plants use auxin flow to control leaf movements in response to temperature. This process, involving PIF4 and AS1 genes, helps leaves cool down in warm conditions.

Area of Science:

  • Plant biology
  • Environmental adaptation
  • Molecular plant science

Background:

  • Plants exhibit tropic and nastic movements in response to directional and nondirectional environmental signals, respectively.
  • The mechanisms by which plants integrate directional cues for tropic behaviors are understood, but less is known about how nondirectional stimuli, like temperature, dictate nastic behavior polarity.
  • Understanding these mechanisms is crucial for comprehending plant environmental adaptation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying thermo-induced leaf hyponasty in Arabidopsis thaliana.
  • To elucidate how ambient temperature signals are translated into specific polar auxin flow for nastic leaf movements.
  • To identify key genes and pathways involved in developmental programming of environmental responses.

Main Methods:

  • Investigated thermo-induced leaf hyponasty in Arabidopsis.
  • Analyzed the role of PHYTOCHROME-INTERACTING FACTOR4 (PIF4) in auxin production and accumulation in leaf petioles.
  • Examined the function of PINOID (PID) protein kinase in auxin transporter polarization.
  • Studied the influence of ASYMMETRIC LEAVES1 (AS1) in directing PID gene induction in specific petiole regions.

Main Results:

  • Demonstrated that a programmed polarity of auxin flow underlies thermo-induced leaf hyponasty.
  • Showed that PIF4 stimulates auxin production in warm environments, leading to auxin accumulation in petioles.
  • Identified that PIF4 directly activates PID gene expression, which polarizes the auxin transporter PIN-FORMED3.
  • Revealed that AS1 directs PID induction to the abaxial petiole region, shaping polar auxin flow.

Conclusions:

  • The integration of PIF4-mediated auxin biosynthesis and polar transport, along with AS1-mediated developmental control of auxin flow, coordinates leaf thermonasty.
  • Leaf thermonasty in response to temperature facilitates leaf cooling in warm environments.
  • Leaf thermonasty serves as a valuable model for studying the developmental programming of environmental adaptation in plants.
