It is a form of nastic movement, not to be confused with thermotropism, which is a directional response in plants to temperature. A common example of this is in some Rhododendron species, but thermonasty has also been observed in other plants, such as Phryma leptostachya . [ 1 ]
Therefore, electrophoresis of positively charged particles or molecules is sometimes called cataphoresis, while electrophoresis of negatively charged particles or molecules (anions) is sometimes called anaphoresis.

Mimosa pudica in normal and touched state.. In biology, thigmonasty or seismonasty is the nastic (non-directional) response of a plant or fungus to touch or vibration. [1] [2] Conspicuous examples of thigmonasty include many species in the leguminous subfamily Mimosoideae, active carnivorous plants such as Dionaea and a wide range of pollination mechanisms.
The plants belonging to this clade are characterized by being herbaceous, with hermaphrodite, zygomorphic flowers—that is, they admit only one plane of symmetry—that are pollinated by insects. In addition, the stamens are arranged in a circle and the petals of the corona are joined together forming a tube.
Raunkiær's life-form scheme has subsequently been revised and modified by various authors, [6] [7] [8] but the main structure has survived. Raunkiær's life-form system may be useful in researching the transformations of biotas and the genesis of some groups of phytophagous animals.
