The Role of Brassinosteroids in Shoot Gravitropism     [PDF]

Plant Physiology, 2011
In the current model of gravitropism, negative gravitropic (upward) growth of the shoot of a dicotyledonous plant involves sedimentation of starch-containing plastids (statoliths) in the endodermis (starch sheath). Here we show that high levels of brassinosteroids (BRs) counteract gravitropic growth, while BR deficiency enhances gravitropism ...

Gravity induces asymmetric Ca2+ spikes in the root cap in the early stage of gravitropism

Plant Signaling & Behavior, 2022
Gravitropism is an important strategy for the adaptation of plants to the changing environment. Previous reports indicated that Ca2+ participated in plant gravity response.

Gravity-Sensing Tissues for Gravitropism Are Required for “Anti-Gravitropic” Phenotypes of lzy Multiple Mutants in Arabidopsis

Plants, 2020
Plant posture is controlled by various environmental cues, such as light, temperature, and gravity. The overall architecture is determined by the growth angles of lateral organs, such as roots and branches.

Auxins and environmental factors regulate root gravitropism

Biologia Plantarum
Roots are important for plant anchoring, water and nutrient absorption, and other physiological processes. Gravity is a primary determinant of the spatial distribution of plant roots in the soil.

Sucrose and Mannans Affect Arabidopsis Shoot Gravitropism at the Cell Wall Level

Plants
Gravitropism is the plant organ bending in response to gravity. Gravitropism, phototropism and sufficient mechanical strength define the optimal position of young shoots for photosynthesis.

A gravitropic stimulus alters the distribution of EHB1, a negative effector of root gravitropism in Arabidopsis [PDF]

Plant Direct, 2020
In Arabidopsis gravitropism is affected by two antagonistically interacting proteins, AGD12 (ADP‐RIBOSYLATION FACTOR GTPase‐ACTIVATING PROTEIN) and EHB1 (ENHANCED BENDING 1). While AGD12 enhances gravitropic bending, EHB1 functions as a negative element.

A Gain-of-Function Mutation in DELLA Selectively Alters Protein Interactions to Regulate Wheat Tiller Angle and Plant Height. [PDF]

Plant Biotechnol J
ABSTRACT Plant architecture, especially plant height and tiller angle, plays a pivotal role in determining wheat yield. In this study, we characterize a wheat mutant termed prostrate and semidwarf 1 (prose1), exhibiting both a prostrate growth habit and semidwarfism.

Regulation of shoot gravitropism and branching angle by the GRV2-SAC1 axis in Arabidopsis. [PDF]

Plant J
Gravitropism is a fundamental adaptive response in plants that enables directional growth to optimize resource acquisition. In this study, we employed forward genetic screening to identify Arabidopsis mutants with defective hypocotyl gravitropism and ...
