1. Turion (botany)A turion (from Latin turio meaning "shoot") is a specialised overwintering bud produced by aquatic plants, especially in the genera Potamogeton, Myriophyllum, Aldrovanda and Utricularia. Turions are produced in response to unfavourable conditions such as decreasing day-length or reducing temperature. They are derived from modified shoot apices. They are often rich in starch and sugars enabling them to act as storage organs.
