Abstrakt: Light energy capture by leaves, water, and mineral absorption by roots are crucial for plant survival. To guide their growth plant organs sense a variety of environ- mental cues, among which the direction of gravity and the direction of light are the most important. Other environmental factors dictating tropic responses like moisture and touch play minor roles in land plants and are discussed in a recent review ([Blancaflor and Masson 2003]).
