Diverse molecular mechanisms produce tropic movements. Shoot and root gravi-and photo-tropism rely upon the generation of auxin gradients across these organs. However, the rapid gravitropism of roots requires additional signaling pathways as well. Moreover, root hydrotropism is reliant on ABA signaling while proprioceptive (also called autostraightening) movements may depend upon mechanosensing.
