Turion (botany)
A turion (from Latin turio meaning "shoot") is a type of bud that is capable of growing into a complete plant. A turion may be an underground bud.
Some aquatic plant species produce overwintering turions, especially in the genera ''Potamogeton'', ''Myriophyllum'', ''Aldrovanda'' and ''Utricularia''. These plants produce turions in response to unfavourable conditions such as decreasing day-length or reducing temperature. They are derived from modified shoot apices and are often rich in starch and sugars enabling them to act as storage organs. Although they are hardy (frost resistant), it is probable that their principal adaptation is their ability to sink to the bottom of a pond or lake when the water freezes. Because water expands anomalously at lower temperatures, water at is denser than colder water and stays at the bottom, and in this water turions over-winter before rising again in the spring. Some turions or aquatic plants also exhibit drought resistance allowing them to survive in temporary pools.
