Conceptualized mechanism of ice plant valve curvature. :
Origami-like unfolding of hydro-actuated ice plant seed

(ad) 'Action' Origami demonstration of the curvature mechanism. When the top half of the f olded paper
representing the valve is straight (a), it is f ree to move about the f old (hinge). If the top half is curved by
bringing the corners together, the bottom half moves about the hinge towards the top half (b) until both
halves are brought together (c). (d) shows the same f old as (c) f rom another perspective. It was not
possible to move the paper about the hinge until the top half was again uncurved. (e) Schematic
demonstrating reversible movements of the unlocked bendable substrate actuated by the expansion of a
swellable layer.
