[edit] Merger

There is a request for merger but no rationale. Since both articles appear to be about the same thing, I support a merger. If there are no disputes any time soon, I will do the job myself. Zab 13:59, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

Dear Zab,
I support your view.

I disagree, i find that it is much better to have Tropism as the all encompassing definition, with the variations chemotropism, heliotropsim etc left separately under its banner, as this easily and simply outlines the distinction between different types of Tropisms. Regards, Rasputin.

Please sign your comments, people. And use indentation for clarity (I have done for you). I support the merge; gravitropism is obviously a subclass of the tropisms, but the page is too short. I suggest summarizing each form of tropism in this article, merging any that are too small to stand on their own. Distinction between the types should not be made less clear by merging.

  • The merge notice didn't specify what should be merged where. I agree with Richard that Tropism should be the all-encompassing article if a merge occurred and I would like organ tropism added for my convenience. - Mgm|(talk) 16:32, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
