Si l'organe s'oriente en direction de la lumière, son phototropisme est dit positif; en sens opposé, il est dit négatif. Chez les végétaux dressés, les tiges et hampes florales ont un phototropisme positif; les racines, lorsqu'elles sont occasionnellement soumises à la lumière, présentent généralement un phototropisme négatif. [...] Certaines feuilles, qui s'orientent perpendiculairement aux rayons du soleil, sont dites «plagiophototropiques». 2, record 1, French, - phototropisme
