Iaa Shoot Side Light Shaded Cells Elongation Positive

Front How does positive phototropism occur in flowering plants?
Back - cells in shoot tip produce IAA
- IAA transported down shoot
- light causes movement of IAA from light side to shaded side
- greater IAA concentration on shaded side
- IAA causes elongation of shoot cells
- faster elongation on shaded side
- shoot bends towards light
