Summary Introduction

To draw: A model showing the way in which gravity might impact plant size by influencing transport.

Introduction: The plant's growth with respect to the effect of gravity is called gravitropism. This mechanism is controlled by plants growth hormones that are known as phytohormones. The auxin helps in the plant elongation ad plays an important role in deciding the plant height concerning the unnatural changes in gravity.
