Examples of phototropism
phototropism
These responses are called phototropism and skototropism respectively.
From the en.wikipedia.org
Auxin participates in phototropism, geotropism, hydrotropism and other developmental changes.
From the en.wikipedia.org
It wasn't until 1928 that auxin, a plant hormone, was identified as the catalyst for phototropism.

Phototropism is an adaptive response that allows plants to optimize light capture under low light conditions.
From the nature.com
There are some tropical vines that develop skototropism, and grow away from the light, a type of negative phototropism.
From the en.wikipedia.org
Among the common tropisms seen in plants is phototropism, the bending of the plant toward a source of light.
From the en.wikipedia.org
The Arabidopsis photoreceptor phot1 phosphorylates PKS4 as part of a negative feedback loop to prevent excessive phototropism.
From the nature.com
While research into red light photoreceptors has been progressing for decades, that for phototropism has long been a stumbling block.
From the sciencedaily.com
Since the researchers had previously shown that NPH1 was essential to phototropism, it followed that NPH1 was the photoreceptor for phototropism.

- An orienting response to light
- Phototropism is directional growth in which the direction of growth is determined by the direction of the light source. In other words, it is the growth and response to a light stimulus. Phototropism is most often observed in plants, but can also occur in other organisms such as fungi. ...
- The reaction of plants to light in which the plants bend toward the light. Plant response to light by unequal growth caused by concentration of the plant hormone Indole Acetic Acid (IAA, an auxin) on the darker side of the plant shoot. PICTURE
- The gravitation of a plant part toward a light source.
- Growth toward a light source, as in many dung-inhabiting fungi, e.g., Pilobolus (Zygomycetes), Sordaria, Ascobolus (Ascomycetes).
- A phenomenon describing the tendency of African Violets and other plants to bend toward the light. This tendency is activated by a light-sensitive hormone called auxin.
- Growth of a plant shoot toward or away from light.
- The tendency of plans to move or grow towards light
