- Abstract
Lack of mobility is one of the more obvious ways in which plants differ from animals To compensate for the lack of movement and ensure an adequate exploitation of local space, a variety of strategies have been evolved. The mechanism of tropic bending was given a major impetus in the early 1930s with the formulation of the Cholodny-Went theory. The Cholodny-Went theory represented a huge simplification of a complex array of phenomena. Tropisms in both roots and shoots could be ascribed to the redistribution of a smile growth regulator auxin. Had other growth regulators been identified at the time they might have been included in the hypothesis.
