An Integrative Model of Plant Gravitropism Linking Statoliths Position and Auxin Transport.
bioRxiv, 2021 Gravity is a major cue for the proper growth and development of plants. The response of plants to gravity implies starch-filled plastids, the statoliths, which sediments at the bottom of the gravisensing cells, the statocytes.

Cellular and physiological functions of SGR family in gravitropic response in higher plants [PDF]
Journal of Advanced ResearchBackground: In plants, gravity directs bidirectional growth; it specifies upward growth of shoots and downward growth of roots. Due to gravity, roots establish robust anchorage and shoot, which enables to photosynthesize.

Stem gravitropism and tension wood formation in three tropical woody species with different wood densities [PDF]
Journal of Wood ScienceAngiosperm trees develop tension wood on the upper side of leaning stems to reorient the direction of stems towards their normal positions in response to a gravitational stimulus. The development of gelatinous fibers with thick inner gelatinous layers (G-

Brassinosteroid control of shoot gravitropism interacts with ethylene and depends on auxin signaling components [PDF]
, 2013 Premise of the study: To reach favorable conditions for photosynthesis, seedlings grow upward when deprived of light upon underground germination. To direct their growth, they use their negative gravitropic capacity.

Upregulation of an IAA-Glucosyltransferase OsIAGLU in Rice (Oryza sativa L.) Impairs Root Gravitropism by Disrupting Starch Granule Homeostasis [PDF]
PlantsIndole-3-acetic acid (IAA) glycosyltransferase (IAGLU) plays vital roles in modulating plant development and responses to environmental cues. Here, we elucidate the regulatory mechanism of OsIAGLU in modulating root gravitropism using OsIAGLU ...

QTL for the Kinematic Traits That Define the Arabidopsis Root Elongation Zone and Their Relationship to Gravitropism [PDF]
PlantsCell expansion in a discrete region called the elongation zone drives root elongation. Analyzing time lapse images can quantify the expansion in kinematic terms as if it were fluid flow.

LAZY5 acts in an LAZY1-independent pathway to regulate rice tiller angle. [PDF]
Plant Biotechnol JSummary Tiller angle is a key agronomic trait that influences plant architecture and thus grain yield by optimizing rice planting density. Although great progress has been made in understanding the LAZY1‐dependent pathway mediating rice tiller angle, the genetic regulatory network of rice tiller angle remains to be elucidated. Here, we identified a new
