Plant Tropisms and Other Movements

Synopsis

A variety of plants, seen in time-lapse photography and in laboratory demonstrations, illustrate essential movements of plants in response to internal or external stimuli. The three basic types of movement are differentiated, tropisms such as phototropism, geotropism, and thigmototropism; nastic movements such as nyctinasty and thermonasty; and nutational movements such as circumnutation.
