2.81 Phototropism

• phototropism = growth responses towards light
• If light is coming from all directions, the stem will grow upwards
• If the light is coming from one side (lateral light source), the stem bends towards the light
• The light on one side causes the movement of auxim (plant hormone), which causes the bending of the stem
