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.

Phototropin (phot) receptor kinases play important roles in promoting plant growth by controlling light-capturing processes, such as phototropism. Phototropism is mediated through the action of ...

Plants have developed a number of strategies to capture the maximum amount of sunlight through their leaves. As we know from looking at plants on a windowsill, they grow toward the sunlight to be able ...

Plant phototropism—directional growth in response to light—serves as a key adaptive mechanism, optimizing photosynthesis and development. Central to this process is phototropin 1 (phot1), a primary ...
