Bine (botany) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Bine (botany)
A bine is a climbing plant that climbs by its shoots growing in a helix around a support. (Compare vines, which climb using tendrils or suckers.) Many bines have rough stems or downward-pointing bristles to aid their grip. Hops (used in flavoring beer) are a commercially important example of a bine.〔(''bine'' ) at Merriam-Webster〕〔(Cone Heads ) at ''Willamette Week''〕 == Direction of rotation ==
The rotation of the shoot tip during climbing is autonomous and does not (as sometimes imagined) derive from the shoot's following the sun around the sky – the direction of twist does not therefore depend upon which side of the equator the plant is growing. This is shown by the fact that some bines always twine clockwise, including runner bean (''Phaseolus coccineus'') and bindweed (''Convolvulus'' species), while others twine anticlockwise, including French bean (''Phaseolus vulgaris'') and climbing honeysuckles (''Lonicera'' species).
