Study Notes
Plant Growth and Response Terms
- Photomorphogenesis: Describes the growth, development, and differentiation of plant cells, tissues, and organs in response to light.
- Photoperiodism: Refers to the growth, development, and responses of plants and animals based on the length of day and/or night.
- Phototropism: The directional response of plants that allows them to grow toward or away from light sources.
- Phytochrome: A protein that is covalently bonded to a light-absorbing pigment, crucial for regulating various physiological responses to light in plants.
- Circadian Rhythm in Plants: The ability of plants to perceive the time of day and season by sensing and utilizing different wavelengths of sunlight.
