Acarpotropic
Definition
A rare neologistic adjectival form used synonymously with 'acarpotropic'; characterized by the absence of movements, bendings, or orientations induced by the development and weight of fruits. It describes the physiological behavior of those stems, axes, or floral peduncles that maintain their rigid structure and unchanged vertical position throughout the entire post-fertilization stage, exhibiting no carpotropic reaction.
