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

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

When tendril comes in contact with any support
Auxin diffuses towards the part away from the contact.
The part in contact with support does not grow as rapidly as the part of tendril away from the support causing the tendril to coil around the support.
