Movement and touch make plants shorter: The physiology of plant movement

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › Professional

Abstract

Plants in the greenhouse are increasingly on the move. More attention is being paid to air circulation and mobile cultivation is on the rise. Research shows that movement and touch (also as plants rub against each other) slow down growth. That can be frustrating but you can also use it to your advantage.
