A team from the University of Lausanne recently published a groundbreaking study in the journal Science that sheds light on our understanding of how plants detect and respond to light. Although plants do not possess visual organs such as eyes, they have developed a mechanism called phototropism, which enables them to orient themselves towards light. This study reveals how this long-mysterious phenomenon works.
