Effects of hypergravity on the elongation and morphology of protonemata of Plant, Elongation growth of protonemata of Adiatitutn capillus-vetieris, which can be controlled by light irradiation, was examined under acropetal and basipetal hypergravity conditions (from -13 to -1-20 g) using a newly developed centrifugation equipment. Elongation of the protonemata under red light was inhibited by basipetal hypergravity at more than -Hi5 , <, ' but was promoted by acropetal hypergravity from -5 to -8 g. Division of the protonemal cells that was induced by white light was inhibited under basipetal hypergravity at -H20 g but was unaffected under acropetal hypergravity al -15 g. Upon exposure to continuous red light for 7 to 8 days, most of Ihe protonemata grew as filamentous cells in the absence of a change in the normal gravitational force (control), but more than half of the protonemal cells were abnormal in terms of shape when maintained under hypergravity at -f20 g.
Elongation growth of protonemata of Adiantum capillus‐veneris, which can be controlled by light irradiation, was examined under acropetal and basipetal hypergravity conditions (from ‐13 to +20 g) using a newly developed centrifugation equipment. Elongation of the protonemata under red light was inhibited by basipetal hypergravity at more than +15 g but was promoted by acropetal hypergravity from ‐5 to ‐8 g. Division of the protonemal cells that was induced by white light was inhibited under basipetal hypergravity at +20 g but was unaffected under acropetal hypergravity at ‐15 g. Upon exposure to continuous red light for 7 to 8 days, most of the protonemata grew as filamentous cells in the absence of a change in the normal gravitational force (control), but more than half of the protonemal cells were abnormal in terms of shape when maintained under hypergravity at +20 g.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
