They have already mentioned the process in the first message of the thread. The chloroplasts are all aligned like school children waiting for the sun before dawn and follow it about the cell, starting at the point the sun will appear and ending at the point the sun disappears, this every single day the plant is active. Dylan said it in a better English than mine. It is like a track or a fixed path. Plants can not move of course but can be very efficient at resolving inmobility problems. Since the plant can not move, chloroplasts inside the cell can move and produce the best out of the situation. Whne you move the plant around the alignment with the sun that has already been fixed for maximum yield is altered and a new path must be set. ChlorOplasts will move along tHE old track for teh first days but the angle will be wrong and photosynthesis not as efficient as was set before. And on and on.
With woody plants the side that points north or south or whatever point you choose at teh nursery must point to the same point when you take it home and adaptation will be ready. Woody plants are very slow and take a lot of time for adaptation (haven't you seen "The Lord of the Rings"?).
Hope this is clear enough
Best regaRDS

You put them under never ending stress. Who turns them around in nature?
