Several lines of recent research suggest that plants are capable of 1 and may even possess something like an eye, despite a very
2、simple one.The idea that plants may have “eyes” is,in a way, nothing 2 . In 1907 Francis Darwin, Charless son, assumed that leaves have organs that are a combination of lens-like cells and light- sensitive cells. Experiments in the early 20th century seemed to 3 that such structures, now called ocel
3、li(单眼), exist, but the concept of a “seeing plant” fell by the waysideonly to 4 in the past few years.In a recent issue of Trends in Plant Science, Frantisek Baluska, a plant cell biologist at the University of Bonn in Germany, and Stefano Mancuso, a plant physiologist at the University of Florence
4、in Italy, lay out new 5 for visually aware vegetation. To make their case, the researchers first point to the 2016 6 that Syn-echocystis cyanobacteria (蓝藻), single-celled plants capable of photosynthesis, act like ocelli. “These cyanobacteria use the entire cell body as a lens to focus an image of t
5、he light source at the cell membrane (膜), as in the retina(视网膜)of an animal eye,” says University of London microbiologist Conrad Mullineaux, who helped to make the discovery.

Recent work also 9 that some plants, such as the cabbage and mustard relative Arabidopsis, make proteins that are involved in the development and functioning of eyespots-
7、the eyes found in some single-celled plants. These 10 specifically show up in structures called plastoglobuli, which are known for giving autumn leaves their red and orange colours. “This discovery suggests that plastoglobuli in plants may 11 eyespots,” Baluska says.Other observational research reve
8、als plants have visual capabilities we just do not 12 yet. For instance, as reported in 2014 in Current Biology, the climbing wood vine Boquila trifoliolata can somehow modify its leaves to imitate the colors and shapes of its host plant.Although the evidence for eyelike structures in higher plants
9、remains 13 , it is growing. “I had never heard about plant vision, and I would have dismissed it as 14 until my own discovery of cyanobacteria acting as a camera eye,” says biotechnologist Nils Schuergers, co-author of the 2016 study on Synechocystis. The next 15 is to confirm the early 20th-century

That is why the WTO originally agreed that the EU could act to limit trade on the grounds of public morals the first time that such a restriction had been put in place.When they are born, seal pups have white fur. They are abandoned by their mothers at about 12 days of age. Stranded
16、on the unstable ice, they remain alone and unfed for up to six weeks, and during this time their fur changes from white to grey-and the hunters arrive.The pups are either shot from boats, or clubbed with a wooden bat or an iron-tipped pole called a hakapik. Some shot and injured seals slide into the
17、 water and are lost. Many shot and injured animals could potentially suffer for several minutes while the hunters drive their boats close enough to club them unconscious. If the ice is too unstable for the hunters to cross, shot and injured but conscious and reactive seals can be dragged into the bo
