Subject: How do seeds really grow?

Hello wonderful plant people

In science at school my class did and experiment with radish seeds under 
different frequncys (frequencies?) of light, Red, Blue, Green.  This experiment 
was done to identify how the plant's growth rate changes depending on the 
frequency of light it is under.  

As part of the lab write-up I'm supposed to look up as much information on 
growth and development of plants.  Why the roots know to go down, why the stem
goes up, etc.  I've been looking on various web search engines, infoseek, lycos,
yahoo, looking for this information.  I can't seem to come up with what I want.
I would be very happy if somebody could direct me in the direction that I want 
to be heading.

Thanks for the help

I need to do a report for biology on the parts of pinto beans. Where can 
I find a diagram online identifying micropyle, hilum, epicotyl, 
hypocotyl, radicle, and cotyledon? I also need to state the functions of 
each part.

Thanks,

use any introductory botany text book, which you can find in the library.  Look
in the back and use the glossary and index.
