Molecular mechanism of phototropism : Regulation of vesicular trafficking by blue light receptor, phototropin.

植物不能像动物那样四处移动寻找养分。因此，为了在植物生长的地方更有效地获得营养，它改变了自己的形态。“向光性”是这样的形态变化之一，植物将身体弯曲到光的方向，以有效地获得光能。那么，植物是如何感受光的，向性的机制又是怎样的呢？本研究初步阐明了向光性的部分机制。

The plant cannot move around for nutrient like the animal. Therefore, to obtain nutrient more efficiently in the place where the plant is grown, it changes an own morphology. "Phototropism" is one of such the morphological changes, and the plant bends the body in the direction of the light to obtain light energy efficiently. Then, how does plant sense the light, and how is the mechanism of the tropism? In this research, a part of the mechanism of the phototropism was clarified.
