Plants trigger physiological and developmental responses to acquire nutrients by altering the whole plant morphology and metabolism. Some responses lead to an induced expression of chemical transporters and collection of enzymes and compounds to remobilize the sources present. These responses are part of the plant's ________ mechanisms.
