Plant Growth Regulators: Whatever Turns You on

Synopsis: Two studies examine factors that regulate plant growth. Phototropism is the growth of a plant stem towards the light. The validity of the Cholodney-Went theory of phototropism is considered in the light of recent research findings. The second study from the Institute of Horticultural Research aims to produce a transgenic tomato that is genetically engineered to remain firm as it ripens.

Notes: NB. As of May 2016 Open University Worldwide are no longer distributing DVDs. They have posted this message on their website: ‘Unfortunately Open University Worldwide Limited has decided that product sales are no longer viable given the reduced funding to Higher Education institutions and diminishing demand for the products we have traditionally stocked. At present the Open University Students Association (OUSA) will continue to sell the "Good Study Guide", and we are in discussion with other possible distributors to continue to make The Open University’s products available for purchase. As soon as we have any information on other channels of distribution we will update this notice’. Some products are still available via second hand dealers on Amazon.co.uk
