They exhibit phototropic growth : most " Phycomyces " research has focused on sporangiophore photobiology, such as phototropism and photomecism ('light growth response').

They exhibit phototropic behavior during dispersal flights, often aggregating at lights, with at least one species showing a preference for light with a wavelength between 460 and 550 nm.

Both primary and secondary spores of " C . coronatus " show phototropic orientation, however it is imprecise and becomes increasingly imprecise the greater the lights'angle of incidence.

Though the fungus shows phototropic orientation, albeit imprecise, the formation and discharge of secondary spores is shown to occur in darkness as well, however it seems to always requires high moisture levels.

Other innovations followed like, for example, self-tinting ( phototropic ) lenses and the first progressive lenses developed by the company, the Progressiv R, which was an immediate success in the 1980s.

While gravitropic response of " A . thaliana " root organs is their predominant tropic response, specimens treated with mutagens and selected for the absence of gravitropic action showed negative phototropic response to blue or white light, and positive response to red light, indicating that the roots also show positive phototropism.

Upon further observation of the imprecise phototropic orientation, it can be seen that the sporangia seem to aim their dispersal above the source of light, which may be a compensation mechanism to assure that the fungus has the ability to disperse at the greatest possible distance, while maintaining its dispersal orientation towards the light.

Gregory ( 1926 ) considered that dinocephalians were aquatic animals, the wide hands and feet and the extensive fore and aft reach being useful for propelling the animal through water and the massive forehead being an advantage in diving . He suggested that the pineal organ might have been phototropic, helping the animal to orient itself relative to the surface of the water.

Over the following two years, Transwave released three albums ( Hypnorhythm, 1995, Helium, 1996, Phototropic, 1996 ) and toured around the world, experiencing great success in the psychedelic trance underground and scoring an international trance hit with their track, " Land of Freedom . " The group split after the D-mention party in Paris in May 1997.

Each story features peculiarly exotic technology such as cloud-carving sculptors performing for a party of eccentric onlookers, poetry-composing computers, orchids with operatic voices and egos to match, phototropic self-painting canvases, etc . In keeping with Ballard's central themes, most notably technologically mediated masochism, these tawdry and weird technologies service the dark and hidden desires and schemes of the human castaways who occupy Vermilion Sands, typically with psychologically grotesque and physically fatal results.
