Plant Responses to Signals

Plant Responses to Signals. Chapter 39. Plants have to respond to gravity and other stimuli in environment. Growth pattern in plants - reaction to light. Shoot reaches sunlight - starts process called greening. Shoots start to grow - entire plant begins to make chlorophyll.
