Some tomato plant leaves yellow due to a lack of sunlight on mature plants. When the plants become large, bushy, and heavy with fruit, the top portions of the plant can block the lower portions from getting sunlight.This can cause the leaves to yellow, and is really nothing to worry about.ou may need to also check your soil for a lack of nitrogen. Nitrogen will give a plant (everything from grass to vegetable plants) its dark green color, and good growth. A lack of nitrogen in the soil can cause the yellow leaves on tomatoes as well.
One example of phototropism is if you place a plant with sunlight to the right, than it will grow to the right where the sunlight is. Another example of phototropism is if you place a plant under something such as a table with sunlight shining above it, it will grow under and out in the sunlight.
Mimicking the natural phenomenon of phototropism - the process by which plants produce more growth hormone on the dark side of the stem to make the flower grow towards the light - the northerly elevation has been elongated, causing the whole form to lean toward the light, bending and stretching upwards and outwards in a southerly direction.
