| Research Abstract |
The plant cannot move around for nutrient like the animal. Therefore, to obtain nutrient more efficiently in the place where the plant is grown, it changes an own morphology. "Phototropism" is one of such the morphological changes, and the plant bends the body in the direction of the light to obtain light energy efficiently. Then, how does plant sense the light, and how is the mechanism of the tropism? In this research, a part of the mechanism of the phototropism was clarified.
