How do auxins promote the growth of a tendril around a support?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Auxin increases in concentration in the part of the tendril which is away from the support. This results in increased cell division in that part. The part which is nearer to the support has lesser rate of cell division. As a result, the external part of the tendril grows more than the internal part and the tendril coils around the support.
