Phototropism of Avena sativa L. has been characterized using a clinostat to negate the gravitropic response. The kinetics for development of curvature was measured following induction by a single ...

Journal of Experimental Botany, Vol. 37, No. 177 (April 1986), pp. 542-548 (7 pages) A number of studies of the elongation rate changes causing phototropism have been made but the findings of ...

COLUMBIA, Mo. – In a paper published in the Journal of Biological Chemistry, scientists at the University of Missouri-Columbia reported molecular-level discoveries about the mechanisms of phototropism ...

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 ...

A sunflower’s ability to track the sun east to west during the day, and to face east again before the next sunrise, relies on multiple types of photoresponses, according to a new study publishing ...

We all know that plants grow toward a light source-but would you believe the same of neurons? Neuronal "phototropism" is exquisitely demonstrated by a report published online in last week's PNAS.

IN a recent communication, Curry and Gruen 1 reported that sporangiophores of Phycomyces blakesleeanus showed strong negative phototropism when exposed to wave-lengths shorter than 300 mµ in addition ...

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 ...
