Auxin is the molecule which is related to the phototropism of the plants. In the mutant plants, which do not have hormone auxin, do not respond to light. It activates proton pump, and leads to the decrease in the pH of the leaf. This acidification breaks cell wall structure and cell wall become less rigid, and thus, can bend towards the light, by exerting mechanical pressure.

<span>In grafting, the plant with desired root system is called the <u>rootstock</u>, and the portion of the plant with the buds is called the <u>scion</u>.
The grafting is a horticultural technique in which parts from two or more plants are joined together to grow as a one single plant.
Rootstock is the plant selected for its roots because it can provide different properties, such as fruit size, or because it is resistant to drought or diseases.
Scion is the plant selected for its leaves, flowers, fruits or stems.
