 +===Plant hormones===
 +There are five general classes of hormones: auxins, cytokinins, gibberellins, ethylene, and abscisic acid. for more details see [[plant biology]]

 ===Phototropism=== ===Phototropism===
   * movement in response to light.    * movement in response to light. 
   * shoots grow toward light and are positively phototropic; roots grow away from light and are negatively phototropic.    * shoots grow toward light and are positively phototropic; roots grow away from light and are negatively phototropic. 
-  * auxin & IAA increase in shaded side -> plant curve toward light+  * IAA increase in shaded side -> plant curve toward light
   * wavelengths less than 500μm—is most effective in producing a growth response.    * wavelengths less than 500μm—is most effective in producing a growth response.

 +=== Other ====
 +via [[WP>Tropism]]
 +  * Chemotropism, movement or growth in response to chemicals
 +  * Gravitropism (or geotropism), movement or growth in response to gravity
 +  * Apogeotropism, the inclination to behave contrary to gravity
 +  * Hydrotropism, movement or growth in response to moisture or water
 +  * Heliotropism, movement or growth in response to sunlight.
 +  * Selenotropism, movement or growth in response to the moon.
 +  * Scototropism, movement or growth towards shadow.
 +  * Phototropism, movement or growth in response to lights or colors of light
 +  * Thermotropism, movement or growth in response to temperature
 +  * Thigmotropism, movement or growth in response to touch or contact
 +  * Autotropism, inclination of plants to grow in a certain direction or to return to a previous (or is it prior) form
 +  * Phytonomy, the laws that govern the coming into existance and growth of plants.
 +  * Phytophysiology, plant physiology.
 +  * Phytopharmacy, etc,etc.
