Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The response toward environmental stimuli for survival is often observed as a biological phenomenon in plants. These responses can be either directed toward or away from the stimulus. The changes that occur due to the response are slower and can be observed for a longer duration of time, in comparison to animals. These responses also vary with a change in the concentration of phytohormones produced.
