　Plants seem to know which way is up and which way is down; they seem to know right from left. If a cutting from a Lombardy polar is kept alive, new shoots will grow from the end that grew uppermost in the tree.

　There is no visible difference between the top and the bottom of the living stick, even under a microscope. Even so, the stick will not send out shoots from the end it considers as bottom even if this end happens to be on top!

　Scientists studying this subject further break their cuttings lengthwise(从上至下). To their surprise, they made shoots grow on the right-hand side of the broken surface than on the left. They cut the sticks again and found that the shots again grew on the right side.
