NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Thigmotropism is a directional growth movement which occurs as a mechanosensory response to a touch stimulus. Thigmotropism is typically found in twining plants and tendrils, however plant biologists have also found thigmotropic responses in flowering plants and fungi.

Detailed explanation-2: -Thigmotropism is the directional response of a plant organ to touch or physical contact with a solid object. This directional response is generally caused by the induction of some pattern of differential growth. This phenomenon is clearly illustrated by the climbing tendrils of some plants, such as the sweet pea.

Detailed explanation-3: -Thigmotropism is plant growth response to touch. An example of this tropism is the curling of a vine tendril around objects that it touches.

Detailed explanation-4: -The movement of plants in response to the stimulus of touch is called thigmotropic movement. This type of movement is commonly observed in tendrils and ‘touch-me-not plants’.
