Abstract:Gravity is a ubiquitous force on the earth and a crucial environmental signal for living organisms. To adapt and survive in the gravitational field, plants sense the gravity vector (magnitude and direction) and change their morphology accordingly. These are widespread phenomena known as 'gravity resistance' and 'gravitropism'. We have studied the early process of shoot gravitropism, gravity sensing, using molecular genetic techniques in combination with two novel microscopes, a vertical-stage confocal microsco… Show more
