The phenomenon of phototropism, or the bending of plant organs in response to light, has been known well for over a century. This response is specific for blue light, and the nature of the photoreceptor involved was a long-standing mystery. However, through the 1980s and 1990s, a detailed...
It is universal in elongating green plants, and the reaction is sensitive in seedlings, which might curve towards or away from the light source. Sometimes, roots show weak negative phototropism; however, this response is weak and variable. In addition to green plants, a small number of fungi ...
Light, at a wavelength of around 450 nanometers (blue/violet light), illuminates a plant. A protein called a photoreceptor catches the light, reacts to it and triggers a response. The group of blue-light photoreceptor proteins responsible for phototrophism are calledphototropins. It is not ...
Human cone phototropism is a key mechanism underlying the Stiles-Crawford effect, a psychophysiological phenomenon according to which photoreceptor outer/inner segments are aligned along with the direction of incoming light. However, such photomechanical movements of photoreceptors remain elusive in mammals....
This response depends on phot1, thereby revealing an unexpected role for phot1 in limiting phototropism. Hence phot1 and PKS4, two elements that are essential to respond to low light, have a dual role and also limit the response to high light. Results S299 is essential for light-induced ...
Auxins also play a part in phototropism, an occurrence that involves plants bending or moving away from light. The shoot tip is responsible for directional movement by the plant in response to sunlight, as this is the area where auxins can be found....
16. From the interaction between red and far-red and red and blue it is assumed that adaptation by red light consists of a saturation with Pfr as well as with intermediate products formed subsequently to Pfr. Only saturation with the latter would interfere with the blue light response. 17. ...

Red light does not cause phototropism but can modify the response to the blue region. By analogy with the very similar phenomenon of geotropism, in which the georeceptor is probably a type of plastid, the photoreceptor is probably a specialized organelle which moves in a light gradient; this ...
It is argued that some of the central concepts, such as the stimulus perception-transduction-response chain, have not given a useful sense of direction. Likewise the arguments as to whether hormones are involved in phototropism have now become a distraction. A constructive phase is now needed, ...
