Tropisms orient plant growth toward or away from environmental stimuli. Plants sense and respond to environmental changes. Tropisms are growth responses that change the shape of a plant or make it grow toward or away from a stimulus. Phototropism, bending in response to light, may result from auxin moving from the light side to the dark side of a stem. A response to gravity, or gravitropism, may be caused by settling of organelles on the low sides of shoots and roots, which may trigger a change in hormone distribution. Thigmotropism, a response to touch, is responsible for coiling of tendrils and vines around objects.
