Bean seedling bends towards light source - phototropism
Phototropism is a directional plant response to light. Plant shoots (stems) exhibit positive phototropism by growing towards a light source. This bean, Phaseolus vulgaris, seedling is bending towards the lamp because auxin hormones released into the far (dark) side of the stem causes elongation on that side.
