TRANSCRIPT
Coordination in PlantsPlants coordinate their behaviour by using their hormones or phytohormonesand respond to the environmental changes
Movement in Plants
Geotropism
Chemotropism
Hydrotropism
Thigmotropism
Ex. Mimosa leaf, Venus Flytrap
ThigmonastyThigmonasty is the response of
a plant to touch or vibration
Ex. Sunflower, Dandelion flower
PhotonastyMovement of plant parts in
response to light
Movement of plants in response to chemicals
Ex: The growth of pollen tube towards the ovule during fertilization in a flower
Pollen
Ovule
Pollen tube
Sperm nuclei
Stigma
Movement of plants in response to water
Ex: Roots of a plant move towards water
Directional movement of plants in response to the touch of an object
Ex: Tendrils of a climber plant climb towards any support which they can cling upon
PhototropismMovement of plants in response to light
Ex. The shoot of the plant moves towards the light
Movement of plants in response to gravity
Positive Geotropism Roots of a plant move in a downward direction
Negative geotropism Stem moves in the upward direction
Tropic Movements Growth dependent
(towards or away from a stimulus) (independent of stimulus's position)
Nastic MovementsGrowth independent
