Study reveals plants use local light sensing to guide growth direction
Audio narration · Coming soon
A study from Tel Aviv University shows that plants can integrate light from multiple directions to determine their growth direction. This process occurs through local sensing along the stem, without requiring a brain or centralized processing. The findings suggest plants may experience 'optical illusions' influencing their growth patterns.
