2.80 geotropism

Geotropism - growth responses to gravity

seed growing
- embryonic roots growing downwards = positive geotropism
- embryonic shoot growing upwards = negative geotropism


if the seed is rotated, the shoot still grows upwards (neg. geotropism)
the root still grows downwards (pos. geotropism)
