Evolution of fast root gravitropism in seed plants

Root gravitropism anchors land plants to the ground and enables water uptake. Here, Zhang et al. define polar targeting of PIN2-like proteins as a major evolutionary innovation promoting shootward auxin transport and faster gravitropic responses of seed plants compared to basal vascular relatives.
