PICATINNY ARSENAL, N.J. (Nov. 27, 2013) -- Most of us are familiar with photosynthesis, but photosynthesis would not be possible without another, lesser known, process called 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 ...

Have you ever seen a plant grow crooked rather than straight up or down? That might be because it was experiencing phototropism. This is where a plant or organism responds to the source of light and ...

Researchers have identified key structures in photosensitive plant tissue that allow them to determine the direction of light, leading to positive phototropism. A recent research collaboration between ...

Here we are, the last week of August. The summer season is coming to an end, the kids are going back to school, our veggie beds and flower containers are winding down —although my overwintered ...

THE primary purpose of my previous communication 1 was to show that the reversal of phototropism at about 300 mµ reported by Curry and Gruen 2 is explicable in optical terms, and that it was not ...
