Quick Notes on Photomorphogenesis | Plants

Growth and development of plants are influenced by several environmental factors including light. However, light causes several responses other than photosynthesis. These responses greatly influence the course of plant development and the final plant appearance. They are photomorphogenetic responses. For example, the seeds of many plants do not germinate unless they are exposed to light. Germination of seeds in light [...]

Photomorphogenesis (With Diagram) | Plant Physiology

The below mentioned article provides a detailed view on photomorphogenesis in Plants. After reading this article you will learn about 1. Two main categories of plant responses to light signals and 2. Photoreceptors. Light is an important environmental factor which controls growth and development in plants. Besides photosynthesis in which light is harvested by green plants and is converted- into [...]
