Phototropin (phot) receptor kinases play important roles in promoting plant growth by controlling light-capturing processes, such as phototropism. Phototropism is mediated through the action of ...

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.

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 ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Auxin efflux carrier PIN-FORMED (PIN) proteins are thought to have central roles in regulating asymmetrical auxin translocation during tropic ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The way a young sunflower turns its bright yellow head to follow the movements of the Sun across the sky each day can be quite dramatic, in terms of plant activity. Now scientists have been surprised ...
