phototropic

I recall a long debate on whether the post-cold-war United States would face east or west, as if we were phototropic.

Beautiful women peered down at them like unfurling, phototropic lilies from second-story balconies.

The decrease in cell wall strength causes cells to swell, exerting the mechanical pressure that drives phototropic movement.

Like a phototropic response, Ysaye thought.

This species is phototropic, and the nearest source of direct or reflected light will be the target for glebal discharge.

For example, the direction of the light source and gravity triggers gravitropic and phototropic responses.

Since 1999, Edgar Lissel has been working with bacteria, using their phototropic properties to produce his images.

Different organs of the plant may exhibit different phototropic reactions to different wavelengths of light.

It describes the phototropic and gravitropic properties of emerging shoots of monocotyledons.

Six trees have been strung up in high rigging, roots skyward in containers, where they are expected to pit gravity against phototropic forces.

Phototropins are part of the phototropic sensory system in plants that causes various environmental responses in plants.

Phototropic chromatophores can change O. wendtii's color and regulate how much light will reach the photoreceptors.

This species is phototropic, and propels spores towards the nearest source of direct or reflected light, like the sides of brightly colored houses.

Pilobolus is named after a phototropic fungus that Jonathan Wolken's father was studying in a lab at the time of the company's inception.

She had also taken another trip to Hilton Head before that, which included a journey to Key West to see her brother, Peter, who is apparently phototropic.

Each story features peculiarly exotic technology such as poetry-composing computers, orchids with operatic voices and egos to match, phototropic self-painting canvases, etc.

The photoreceptors phytochromes A, B, C, D and E mediate red light-based phototropic response.

Floodlights, with charged wire-mesh shields to guard against phototropic bugs, showed part of the ground outside the wall, but in the dark beyond the safety area stretched far inland.

Sten, Alex, and Jorgensen wore, for the first time since they'd been on Vulcan, the Mantis Section phototropic camouflage uniforms.

After a tree has been found, the scototropic behavior stops and the philodendron switches to a phototropic growth habit and the internodes shorten and thicken.

It is a major carotenoid of phototropic bacteria such as Rhodomicrobium vannielii and Rhodopseudomonas acidophila strain 7050.

More than a week into the new season, after a winter of repeated snowfalls, New Yorkers are as phototropic as plants, bending toward the pale light, whenever they can find it.

They exhibit phototropic growth: most Phycomyces research has focused on sporangiophore photobiology, such as phototropism and photomecism ('light growth response').

Other innovations followed like, for example, self-tinting (phototropic) lenses and the first progressive lenses developed by the company, the Progressiv R, which was an immediate success in the 1980s.

The flower stalk is initially positively phototropic and moves towards the light-after fertilization it becomes negatively phototropic and moves away from the light.
