RESEARCH QUESTION
How do the angle of incoming light and the redistribution of auxin change the angle at which cress seedlings grow?
Scientific background
Phototropism: the plant hormone auxin moves to the shaded side of a shoot, where it makes cells elongate more, so the shoot bends towards the light. Garden cress (Lepidium sativum) germinates in days, which makes it a practical test plant.
