4 – Paratonic Movements Plant Movements Part 2
Plants move and their movement is growth. Plants do not locomote. Plant movements are of two types. One Autonomic movements and two Paratonic movements. Autonomic movements are due to internal causes which means because of some internal genetic make up. Paratonic movements are due to external cause which means no genetic setup is over there for such kind of responses. Autonomic movements are of three types. Tactic movements or taxis, turgor movements and growth movements. Paratonic movements are tropic and nastic movements. Tropic are directional and nastic are non directional movements. Tropism can be phototropism, thigmotropism, chemotropism, hydtotropism, geotropism. Nastic movements can be nyctinasty and haptonasty. Nyctinasty can further be photonasty and thermonasty.
