Plants constantly move, although these motions are typically imperceptible to the human eye. These are subtle yet vital movements throughout developmental growth and in response to environmental stimuli. Plant movements are fundamentally distinct from animal ones in their timescales and driving mechanisms. In this symposium, leading researchers will present cutting-edge studies that explore the foundational mechanisms behind plant movement from various perspectives.
