In biology, phototropism is the growth of an organism in response to a light stimulus. Phototropism is most often observed in plants, but can also occur...

(1832). It was renamed phototropism in 1892, because it is a response to light rather than to the sun, and because the phototropism of algae in lab studies...

This is called phototropism. Janoudi and his fellow coworkers wanted to see what type of phytochrome was responsible for causing phototropism to occur, and...

of fungus in the Zygomycota phylum. They are known for their strong phototropism response and helical growth of the sporangium. The best studied species...

These specialized hyphae usually show negative gravitropism and positive phototropism allowing good spore dispersal. The sporangia wall is thin and is easily...

by motion; for example, the leaves of a plant turning toward the sun (phototropism), and chemotaxis. Interaction between organisms. the processes by which...

several loops and few beta sheets. In plants, cryptochromes mediate phototropism, or directional growth toward a light source, in response to blue light...

mature, gravitropism continues to guide growth and development along with phototropism. While amyloplasts continue to guide plants in the right direction, plant...

occur via a plant's response to a particular stimulus, such as light (phototropism), gravity (gravitropism), water, (hydrotropism), and physical contact...
