“…Most plants grow linearly or circumferentially (Steeves and Sussex, 1989), but others grow in non-linear directions, such as in twists and spirals, known as helical growth. Here, twisting is defined as a cross-sectional rotation around a plant's midline (Otsuka and Tsukaya, 2021). Several terms, each with a slightly different denotation, have been applied to stimulus-induced twisting, including tropism (Snow, 1962), heliotropism (Atamian et al, 2016), torsion (Borchers et al, 2018), circumnutation (Fiorello et al, 2020), and resupination (Dines and Bell, 1994;Harley et al, 2017).…”
