Presentation Transcript


  1. Phototropism • Directional Information • Blue Light • Stem Bending • Toward Light • Lateral Redistribution of Auxin • Auxin High on Shaded Side • Increased Growth • Stomatal Opening • Blue Light Activation of ATPase • H+ ion extrusion • K+/Cl- Uptake • H2O uptake • Swelling of Guard Cells

  2. Phototropism

  3. Plants in Motion

  4. Phototropism • Leaf Movements • Heliotropism - Legumes • Pulvinus • Similar to Stomatal Opening • Multicellular • H+ / K+, Cl- exchange ---> H2O uptake ---> Swelling • Dorsal <---> Ventral • Dorsal swell ---> Leaf moves down • Ventral swell ---> Leaf moves up

  5. Leaf Movements • Pulvinus
