You may not think of plants as doing anything; but if you stop and think, they do lots of things. They grow, they die; they produce fruit, flowers, seed and regenerate after they have been damaged. Plants respond to watering (or dryness); to light (or dark) and to variations in temperature.
This course explores all such responses, and more. By studying Botany II, you will develop a deeper understanding of the processes that occur in plants, and the things that stimulate or inhibit those processes.
Plants can sense and respond to light of different intensities and quality. Plants have the capacity to sense and respond to variations in a wide range of characteristics, including light wavelength intensity, duration and direction.There are different systems that are involved in a plant sensing and reacting to light:
Blue Light Responses
Blue light can cause a variety of responses including:
Red Light Responses
Also called the Phytochrome system; red light can stimulate a variety of responses including:
Other Types of Light
The Blue and Red light systems are the best understood, and most important. Other wavelengths of light are known to affect plants also, including:
