Plant Responses and Survival
Investigating how plant growth factors like IAA regulate tropisms in response to light and gravity.
Key Questions
- 1How does the asymmetric distribution of auxins lead to directional growth in plants?
- 2To what extent can plant 'behavior' be compared to animal responses given the lack of a nervous system?
- 3How do plants use chemical signaling to defend themselves against herbivory?
