    Plants exhibit various responses to stimuli like light, water, gravity, and touch. Tropisms are directional responses where a plant part grows toward or away from a stimulus, such as phototropism where shoots grow toward light or geotropism where roots grow downward due to gravity. Nastic movements are faster responses to stimuli that do not depend on direction, like the Mimosa plant folding its leaves inward when touched as a defense.

    1.3: Stimuli and Responses in Plants

    Tropism
    - directional response of plants to stimuli such as light, water, gravity and touch
    - coming from a certain direction
    - A certain part of a plant will grow towards or move away from the detected stimulus
    - grows towards a stimulus is known as positive tropism
    - grows away from a stimulus is known as negative tropism

    Phototropism Hydrotropism Geotropism Thigmotropism


    Stimuli: Light Stimuli: water Stimuli: gravity Stimuli: touch
    response of plants response of plants response of plants response towards
    towards light towards water towards gravity touch

    Roots of plants show


    positive hydrotropism Roots of plants Tendrils or
    Shoots of plants show
    which is growth show positive twining stems
    positive phototropism
    towards the direction geotropism which is show positive
    which is growth
    of water downward growth thigmotropism
    towards the direction
    towards the
    of light
    direction of gravity

    Nastic movement
    - is the response towards a stimulus such as touch but does not depend on the
    direction of the stimulus
    - occurs more rapidly than tropism
    - example, the Mimosa sp. responds to touch by folding its leaves inwards when
    touched
    - as a defence of the Mimosa sp. against its enemies and strong wind.
