Gravity Factor for Auxin Transport

C J Lyon. Science. .

Abstract

The elongating internodes of the axis of a vigorous dicotyledonous plant develop strong curvatures if the tropistic effect of gravity is eliminated on a clinostat. Similar curvatures are produced by unbalancing either the supply of auxin or its transport paths, but only in the absence of unidirectional gravity as a distributive force.
