Functional mapping of gravitropism and phototropism for a desert tree, Populus euphratica
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]
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 ...

Phototropins, namely, phototropin 1 (phot1) and phototropin 2 (phot2), mediate chloroplast movement to maximize photosynthetic efficiency and prevent photodamage in plants.

Nuclear phytochrome A signaling promotes phototropism in Arabidopsis [PDF]
Phototropin photoreceptors (phot1 and phot2 in Arabidopsis thaliana) enable responses to directional light cues (e.g., positive phototropism in the hypocotyl).

phot1 inhibition of ABCB19 primes lateral auxin fluxes in the shoot apex required for phototropism [PDF]
It is well accepted that lateral redistribution of the phytohormone auxin underlies the bending of plant organs towards light. In monocots, photoreception occurs at the shoot tip above the region of differential growth.

Role of Leaves in Phototropism [PDF]
Experiments with green seedlings of sunflower (Helianthus annuns L.) indicate the existence of a phototropic mechanism which involves the leaves or cotyledons, and which can produce an asymmetry of auxin content without the involvement of lateral auxin transport, the classic explanation of phototropism in etiolated seedlings.

THE PHOTOTROPIC MECHANISM IN RANATRA [PDF]
Definite proof is obtained that in the phototropic orientation of Ranatra the relative postures of the appendages, resulting in a bilateral difference of effective stroke in swimming, is the mechanism of orientation; the frequency of locomotor movements is the same on the two sides of the body.

Distinct patterns of gene expression during phototropism and heliotropism.
(A, B) Normalized transcript levels over time for S15a-like (Ha412HOChr05g0204731) during heliotropism and phototropism, respectively. (C) Genes with different acrophases on the east and west sides of stems; west side acrophases between ZT0 and ZT8.

A unified model of shoot tropism in plants: photo-, gravi- and Propio-ception. [PDF]
Land plants rely mainly on gravitropism and phototropism to control their posture and spatial orientation. In natural conditions, these two major tropisms act concurrently to create a photogravitropic equilibrium in the responsive organ.
