Club75 || Photography Of Sun Flowers || By @zeemooo

In the universe we see innumerable things, scenes and charms. One such secret is the attachment of the sunflower flower to the sun. This flower follows the signals of the sun shining on the horizon throughout the day and always changes direction with the sun.Scientists were puzzled as to why a sunflower plant follows the light of the rising sun all day long and turns completely westward to catch the last glimpse of the sun in the evening.Whereas at night in the absence of the sun, the flower turns back towards the east and waits for the return of the sun and does so until it becomes a mature or large flower.

But how sunflower plants do this has remained a mystery until now.Finally, botanists have found the answer, saying that it is not a matter of the sunflower flower's love for the sun, but 'heliotropism', or the sun falling on it during the growth of a plant. has a tendency to be affected by light.However, experts wanted to know why the new sunflower flower follows the sun and why the sunflower flower stops following the sun when it becomes an adult plant.The researchers showed that when a sunflower plant is fully grown, and in some cases as tall as a human, it stops moving toward the sun and turns its position to attract pollinating insects. The direction is always towards east.

In research published in the research journal 'Science', scientists have revealed that the sunflower flower's internal clock works together to detect circadian rhythms and the ability to detect light, and to activate genes related to growth in the morning sun. Allows bending along the direction of University of California-Davis plant biology researchers Professor Stacey Harmer and Professor Haigup et Emin and their team have completed their study on sunflowers in fields, pots and growth chambers.

The scientists first wanted to know what the benefits of chasing sunlight might be, so in a series of experiments they tied sunflower plants in outdoor pots to prevent them from chasing sunlight.As a result, these plants grew less than the sun-facing sunflower plants, clearly implying that sun-tracking promoted plant growth.On the other hand, there was also the fact that the sunflower plant changes its direction at night and turns from west back to east, from which the researchers found that the plant's internal clock is responsible.
