Record 1 2012-09-18

English

Subject field(s)
  • Plant Biology
DEF

The reaction of plants to light in which the plants bend toward the light.

CONT

Plant response to light by unequal growth caused by concentration of the plant hormone Indole Acetic Acid(IAA, an auxin) on the darker side of the plant shoot.

CONT

The comparative effects of flash light and steady light in producing phototropism in seedling plants.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Biologie végétale
DEF

Mouvement de croissance des tiges et des racines, provoqué par une répartition anisotropique de la lumière.

OBS

Si l'organe s'oriente en direction de la lumière, son phototropisme est dit positif; en sens opposé, il est dit négatif. Chez les végétaux dressés, les tiges et hampes florales ont un phototropisme positif; les racines, lorsqu'elles sont occasionnellement soumises à la lumière, présentent généralement un phototropisme négatif. [...] Certaines feuilles, qui s'orientent perpendiculairement aux rayons du soleil, sont dites «plagiophototropiques».

Record 2 2000-04-27

English

Subject field(s)
  • Animal Science
CONT

Ambler or cross-walker? Most mammals, including humans, are cross-walkers. When they put their right foot forward, the left arm moves forward. But some animals, for example, giraffes, always move both legs of one side at the same time. They are amblers. The gazelle is both. When taking slow steps, they amble. When they run, they change into cross-walk. When escaping, they often carry out bruising jumps. They shoot up into the air on all four legs, as if they could get a better view of the area this way.
