seksotropija
Seksotropija is a term that describes a phenomenon observed in certain flower species where the flower's petals or other floral organs exhibit a twisting or helical arrangement, often in a right-handed or left-handed direction. This helical twist is not random but follows a consistent pattern within a given species or even an individual plant. The phenomenon is related to the developmental process of the flower, influenced by genetic factors and potentially environmental cues during bud formation.
The precise biological purpose of seksotropija is still a subject of scientific investigation. Several hypotheses have
While not as widely discussed as other floral traits, seksotropija has been documented in various plant families,
