Photoreceptors and Plant Responses to Light02:00

Photoreceptors and Plant Responses to Light

Light plays a significant role in regulating the growth and development of plants. In addition to providing energy for photosynthesis, light provides other important cues to regulate a range of developmental and physiological responses in plants.
The Photochemical Reaction Center01:29

The Photochemical Reaction Center

Reaction centers are pigment-protein complexes that initiate energy conversion from photons to chemical entities. Therefore, photochemical reaction center is a more appropriate term that describes these complexes. The Nobel laureates Robert Emerson and William Arnold provided the first experimental evidence of photochemical reaction centers by demonstrating the participation of nearly 2,500 chlorophyll molecules for the release of just one molecule of oxygen. Despite thousands of photosynthetic...
Channel Rhodopsins01:11

Channel Rhodopsins

Most organisms use photoreceptors to sense and respond to light. Examples of photoreceptors include bacteriorhodopsins and bacteriophytochromes in some bacteria, phytochromes in plants, and rhodopsins in the photoreceptor cells of the vertebral retina. The light-sensitive property of these receptors is because of the bound chromophores, such as bilin in the phytochromes and retinal in the rhodopsins.
Rhodopsins belong to the family of cell surface proteins called G-protein coupled receptors,...
Anatomy of the Eyeball01:20

Anatomy of the Eyeball

The eye is a spherical, hollow structure composed of three tissue layers. The outer layer — the fibrous tunic, comprises the sclera — a white structure — and the cornea, which is transparent. The sclera encompasses some of the ocular surface, most of which is not visible. However, the 'white of the eye' is distinctively visible in humans compared to other species. The cornea, a clear covering at the front of the eye, enables light penetration. The eye's middle layer, the vascular tunic,...
Photoreceptors and Visual Pathways01:22

Photoreceptors and Visual Pathways

At the molecular level, visual signals trigger transformations in photopigment molecules, resulting in changes in the photoreceptor cell's membrane potential. The photon's energy level is denoted by its wavelength, with each specific wavelength of visible light associated with a distinct color. The spectral range of visible light, classified as electromagnetic radiation, spans from 380 to 720 nm. Electromagnetic radiation wavelengths exceeding 720 nm fall under the infrared category, whereas...
Color Vision01:24

Color Vision

Color perception begins in the retina, the light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye. Two main theories explain how colors are seen: the trichromatic theory and the opponent-process theory. The trichromatic theory, proposed by Thomas Young in 1802 and extended by Hermann von Helmholtz in 1852, suggests that color vision is based on three types of cone receptors in the retina. These cones are sensitive to different but overlapping ranges of wavelengths corresponding to red, blue, and green.

Resumen

Algunos peces usan clorofila para ver la luz roja en las profundidades del mar. Este estudio muestra que las células oculares de la salamandra también pueden usar derivados de la clorofila para mejorar la visión de la luz roja, lo que sugiere un mecanismo general de fotorrecepción de vertebrados.

Área de la Ciencia:

  • Los pigmentos visuales son pigmentos visuales.
  • La fotorrecepción es la fotorrecepción.
  • Derivados de la clorofila y sus derivados.

Sus antecedentes:

  • Los peces de aguas profundas que carecen de pigmentos visuales sensibles al rojo utilizan derivados de la clorofila para percibir la luz roja profunda.
  • Esta adaptación permite la visión en entornos con espectro de luz limitado.

Objetivo del estudio:

  • Para investigar si las células fotorreceptoras de los vertebrados, más allá de los peces de aguas profundas, pueden acumular derivados de clorofila exógenos.
  • Para determinar si tal acumulación aumenta la sensibilidad a la luz roja en estas células.

Principales métodos:

  • Extracción de células de varillas vivas de los ojos de la salamandra.
  • La incubación de estas células con un derivado de la clorofila exógena, el cloro e6.6.
  • Evaluación de la sensibilidad a la luz roja de las células varillas tratadas.

Principales resultados:

  • Las células de las varillas de salamandra acumularon con éxito el derivado de clorofila exógena, el cloro e6.
  • Las células tratadas con clorofila mostraron una mayor sensibilidad a la luz roja, igualando su sensibilidad a la luz verde.
  • El derivado de la clorofila resultó ser inbleachable, lo que indica una sensibilidad a la luz sostenida.

Conclusiones:

  • Las células fotorreceptoras de vertebrados se pueden aumentar con derivados de clorofila exógenos para una mayor sensibilidad espectral.
  • La mejora de la visión mediante el uso de derivados de clorofila no blanqueables puede ser un fenómeno generalizado en la fotorrecepción de vertebrados.
  • Este hallazgo abre posibilidades para comprender y potencialmente mejorar la visión en diferentes especies de vertebrados.
