Phototropism describes the directed growth of plant organs in response to light gradients, primarily mediated by blue-light photoreceptors known as phototropins. This adaptive behaviour optimises the ...
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 ...
(PhysOrg.com) -- A Purdue University-led study may change how scientists think about how some plants bend toward light. Murphy said the mechanisms that caused phototropism in dicots have been ...
