Plant Gravitropism. Unraveling the Ups and Downs of a Complex Process1

Wind and heavy rain can have a devastating effect on crop production if they occur late during the life cycle of the plants. They often flatten the crop on the ground, leaving seed and other harvestable products at the mercy of soil moisture and pathogens and inaccessible to mechanical harvesting
