The role of calcium and calmodulin in the response of roots to gravity [PDF]
There is general agreement that, in roots, the primary detection of the gravitropic signal occurs in the columella cells of the cap and that this results in the generation of a signal that moves into the elongation zone causing the asymmetric growth that

Auxin fluxes in the root apex co-regulate gravitropism and lateral root initiation [PDF]
, 2008 International audienceRoot architecture plays an important role in water and nutrient acquisition and in the ability of the plant to adapt to the soil. Lateral root development is the main determinant of the shape of the root system and is controlled by ...

Computers from plants we never made. Speculations
, 2017 We discuss possible designs and prototypes of computing systems that could be based on morphological development of roots, interaction of roots, and analog electrical computation with plants, and plant-derived electronic components.

Gravitropism: Lateral Thinking in Auxin Transport [PDF]
Current Biology, 2002 Plant stems and roots orient themselves with respect to directional illumination and gravity by differential growth on either side of the organ. A model formulated in the 1930s proposed that tropic growth curvature arose from growth hormone redistribution. Studies with Arabidopsis are beginning to reveal the mechanism.

Developmental biology of wood formation [PDF]
, 2003 The wood-forming vascular cambium is responsible for the production of a large part of the biomass on this planet. Yet, there is only limited knowledge on how cell proliferation and differentiation in the cambial meristem are regulated.
