Abstract: In this paper, by using the G2-structure on Im(mathbbO)congmathbbR7 from the octonions mathbbO, the G2-binormal motion of curves gamma(t,s) in mathbbR7 associated to the almost complex structure on mathbbS6 is studied. The motion is proved to be equivalent to Schr"odinger flows from mathbbR1 to mathbbS6, and also to a nonlinear Schr"odinger-type system in three unknown complex functions that generalizes the famous correspondence between the binormal motion of curves in mathbbR3 and the focusing nonlinear Schr"odinger equation. Some related geometric properties of the surface Sigma in Im(mathbbO) swept by gamma(t,s) are determined.
