Phototropin — Phototropins are photoreceptor proteins (specifically, flavoproteins) that mediate phototropism responses in higher plants. Along with cryptochromes and phytochromes they allow plants to respond and alter their growth in response to the light… … Wikipedia
Phototropin — Phototropine sind Lichtrezeptoren der Pflanzen. Ihr Name leitet sich von ihrer Beteiligung an der Regulation des Phototropismus ab. Neben dieser Funktion sind sie aber auch an der Phototaxis der Chloroplasten und an der Regulation des Öffnens der … Deutsch Wikipedia

Phototropism — is directional growth in which the direction of growth is determined by the direction of the light source. In other words, it is the growth and response to a light stimulus. Phototropism is most often observed in plants, but can also occur in… … Wikipedia
Phytochrome — is a photoreceptor, a pigment that plants use to detect light. It is sensitive to light in the red and far red region of the visible spectrum. Many flowering plants use it to regulate the time of flowering based on the length of day and night… … Wikipedia
Flavoprotein — Flavoproteins are proteins that contain a nucleic acid derivative of riboflavin: the flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) or flavin mononucleotide (FMN). Flavoproteins are involved in a wide array of biological processes, including, but by no means… … Wikipedia
Plant perception (physiology) — In the study of plant physiology plant perception is a term used to describe mechanisms by which plants recognize changes in the environment. Examples of stimuli which plants perceive and can react to include chemicals, gravity, light, moisture,… … Wikipedia
Photoreceptor protein — Photoreceptors are light sensitive proteins involved in the sensing and response to light in a variety of organisms. Some examples are rhodopsin in the photoreceptor cells of the vertebrate retina, phytochrome in plants, and bacteriorhodopsin in… … Wikipedia
