When plants are growing, they sometimes display an oscillatory movement that is not oriented in the direction of a stimuli. These movements are called nutation.

Despite the ubiquity of nutation in plants, the mechanisms and regulation responsible for this movement remain obcure. By discussing the kinematics of nutation, we try to understand how the interplay between experiments and theory can help to provide relevent measurements and shape the modelling. |
