Lecture

Plant Tropism: Hormonal Theories and Growth Curvature

Description

This lecture explores the concept of tropism in plants, focusing on gravitropism, phototropism, and hormonal theories. It delves into the role of auxin in shoot phototropism, differential growth mechanisms, and the field theory for plant tropisms. The lecture also discusses the application of these theories in soft robotics and active synthetic materials, as well as their relevance to axonal guidance in nerve development.
