Perhaps you mean to ask if gravity "affects" the phenotype of a plant? In a word, yes. For instance, a tree typically grows in a vertical direction. If a pot that holds a young tree is tilted at an angle, the new growth will be vertical, although the existing trunk will be at an angle relative to the ground. Most plants that live on land can tell which way is up and respond to this as they grow.

"To effect" something means to make it happen. Gravity does have effects on plant phenotypes, but gravity doesn't "effect" the phenotype of a plant.

Does gravity have any effect on plant?

Yes it does. Plant seeds distinguish between up and down based on gravity. Thatis how they decide the direction in which to send the first shoot. This needs to go in the "up" direction so that it can then capture sunlight and produce energy for its growth.
