Answer #1

Answer-

Blue light of wavelength 450- 490 nm and Auxin hormone is involved in the phototropic response of Avena sativa coleoptiles.

Phototropism is the movement of body parts of an organism in response to light. When Avena sativa is placed towards the bright source of light, a hormone called Auxin (Indole acetic acid) causes the movement of the plant body parts towards the light source. This is also called positive phototropism. Different plant organs may exhibit different phototropic reactions to different wavelengths of light. Stem tips of plant exhibit positive phototropic reaction to blue light which has wavelength of 450-490 nm.
