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 ...
Plants are fixed at a place with their roots in the ground, so they cannot move from one place to another. That is plant do not show movement of the entire body. However, movement of the individual ...
Researchers have found that shape memory polymers are able to mimic natural phototropism behaviors. Image Credit: Pat_Hastings/Shutterstock.com Polymers and ...
