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 ...
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 ...
