E11 Tropisms

Title

Tropisms constitute growth processes oriented toward directed responses to persistent external stimuli.

Its foundation lies in differential redistribution of growth induced by light, gravity, water or contact.

Furthermore, this discipline deals with the analysis of phototropism and gravitropism, which makes it possible to explain plant functional orientation.
