Plants grow both upwards and downwards thanks to the balance of proteins.
A new study has shown that the direction of plant growth is determined not only by their tendency to grow upwards, but also by the balance between two signaling systems, including the SLQ1 protein, which stimulates downward growth. This discovery challenges the traditional understanding of gravitropism and helps explain how plants develop their structure.
