Research Proposal for Team Root

From the Introduction: "The successful development of plants depends on the downward growth of the emerging root, and the upward growth of the shoot. Such orientation of plant organs in response to the gravity vector is known as gravitropism. The gravity-induced spatial configuration is essential for plant growth and development, since it establishes a root system for anchorage, water acquisition and mineral uptake from the soil, and a shoot system for the capture of sunlight for photosynthesis aboveground.
