Plant Growth & Development

This document discusses different types of plant tropisms such as phototropism, gravitropism, and thigmotropism which are plant responses to light, gravity, and touch respectively. It also covers photoperiodism, which is the response of plants to changes in day length that influences flowering and dormancy cycles in long day plants, short day plants, and day neutral plants. The diagram outlines key factors that influence plant growth, reproduction, and pollination.
