Stress Biology, 2023 Phototropism is a classic adaptive growth response that helps plants to enhance light capture for photosynthesis. It was shown that hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) participates in the regulation of blue light-induced hypocotyl phototropism; however, the ...

Multiple light signaling pathways control solar tracking in sunflowers.
PLoS Biology, 2023 Sunflowers are famous for their ability to track the sun throughout the day and then reorient at night to face east the following morning. This occurs by differential growth patterns, with the east sides of stems growing more during the day and the west ...

Proper PIN1 distribution is needed for root negative phototropism in Arabidopsis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Plants can be adapted to the changing environments through tropic responses, such as light and gravity. One of them is root negative phototropism, which is needed for root growth and nutrient absorption.

Plant Phototropic Growth [PDF]
Current Biology, 2015 Plants are photoautotrophic sessile organisms that use environmental cues to optimize multiple facets of growth and development. A classic example is phototropism - in shoots this is typically positive, leading to growth towards the light, while roots frequently show negative phototropism triggering growth away from the light.

Functional mapping of gravitropism and phototropism for a desert tree, Populus euphratica
Frontiers in Bioscience-Landmark, 2021 Background: Plants have evolved the dual capacity for maximizing light assimilation through stem growth (phototropism) and maximizing water and nutrient absorption through root growth (gravitropism).

Diurnal photoperiods and rhythmicity of the phototropic bending response in hypocotyls of sunflower, Helianthus annuus L. seedlings [PDF]
Archives of Biological Sciences, 2021 Research on phototropic (PT) bending in sunflower (Helianthus annuus L. cv. Kondi (Syngenta)) seedling hypocotyls presented herein focused on a comparison of diurnal and free-running photoperiods with the aim of explaining the development of diurnal ...
