What is the physical basis of the phototropic response?

Phototropic response in plants is based on the redistribution of the plant hormone auxin, which promotes cell elongation on the shaded side of the plant, causing it to bend towards the light source. This redistribution is mediated by photoreceptors called phototropins, which sense the direction of light and trigger the movement of auxin to induce the plant's growth towards light.
