PICATINNY ARSENAL, N.J. (Nov. 27, 2013) -- Most of us are familiar with photosynthesis, but photosynthesis would not be possible without another, lesser known, process called phototropism.

The Plant Cell, Vol. 24, No. 2 (FEBRUARY 2012), pp. 551-565 (15 pages) Under blue light (BL) illumination, Arabidopsis thaliana roots grow away from the light source, showing a negative phototropic ...

Plants, like animals, employ hormones as messengers, which coordinate growth and regulate how they react to the environment. One of these plant hormones, auxin, regulates nearly all aspects of plant ...

The growth of plants toward light is particularly important at the beginning of their lifecycle. Many seeds germinate in the soil and get their nutrition in the dark from their limited reserves of ...

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 ...

Have you ever seen a plant grow crooked rather than straight up or down? That might be because it was experiencing phototropism. This is where a plant or organism responds to the source of light and ...

Here we are, the last week of August. The summer season is coming to an end, the kids are going back to school, our veggie beds and flower containers are winding down —although my overwintered ...

This news release is available in German. Plants, like animals, employ hormones as messengers, which coordinate growth and regulate how they react to the environment. One of these plant hormones, ...
