Science Buddies: Vines & Spines: Thigmotropism in Morning Glory Tendrils

Curated by ACT

We tend to think of plants as immobile, but the tendrils of a vine, such as the morning glory, actually move in response to touch. Tendrils wrap around structures, which give the plant something to grow on. In this science fair project, you will investigate how plant tendrils respond to touch stimuli.
