Plants are fixed at a place with their roots in the ground, so they cannot move from one place to another. That is plant do not show movement of the entire body. However, movement of the individual ...

Plants have developed a number of strategies to capture the maximum amount of sunlight through their leaves. As we know from looking at plants on a windowsill, they grow toward the sunlight to be able ...

Scientists reported molecular-level discoveries about the mechanisms of phototropism, the directional growth of plants toward or away from light. Phototropism is initiated when photoreceptors in a ...

Plant phototropism—directional growth in response to light—serves as a key adaptive mechanism, optimizing photosynthesis and development. Central to this process is phototropin 1 (phot1), a primary ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract When etiolated radish (Raphanus sativus var. hortensis f. gigantissimus Makino) hypocotyls were subjected to a continuous unilateral ...

Phototropism is one of the most rapid and visually obvious adaptation responses of plants to changes in their environment. It allows plant shoots to grow towards light and roots to avoid it. It ...

The lateral fluence-rate gradients in unilaterally irradiated maize (Zea mays L.) coleoptiles were calculated on the basis of the proportions of Pfr (far-red-absorbing form of phytochrome) measured ...
