The Kinematics of Plant Nutation Reveals a Simple Relation between Curvature and the Orientation of Differential Growth.

Nutation is an oscillatory movement that plants display during their development. Despite its ubiquity among plants movements, the relation between the observed movement and the underlying biological mechanisms remains unclear. Here we show that the kinematics of the full organ in 3D give a simple p...
