A mathematical model explores the contributions of bending and stretching forces to shoot gravitropism in Arabidopsis

open access: yesQuantitative Plant Biology, 2020
Plant shoot gravitropism is a complex phenomenon resulting from gravity sensing, curvature sensing (proprioception), the ability to uphold self-weight and growth.

Calcium in the Regulation of Gravitropism by Light [PDF]

open access: yesPlant Physiology, 1988
The red light requirement for positive gravitropism in roots of corn (Zea mays cv "Merit") provides an entry for examining the participation of calcium in gravitropism. Applications of calcium chelators inhibit the light response. Calcium channel blockers (verapamil, lanthanum) can also inhibit the light response, and a calcium ionophore, A23187, can

A functional TOC complex contributes to gravity signal transduction in Arabidopsis

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2014
Although plastid sedimentation has long been recognized as important for a plant’s perception of gravity, it was recently shown that plastids play an additional function in gravitropism. The Translocon at the Outer envelope membrane of Chloroplasts (TOC)

Functional mapping of gravitropism and phototropism for a desert tree, Populus euphratica

open access: yesFrontiers in Bioscience-Landmark, 2021
Background: Plants have evolved the dual capacity for maximizing light assimilation through stem growth (phototropism) and maximizing water and nutrient absorption through root growth (gravitropism).

Developmental Flower and Rhizome Morphology in Nuphar (Nymphaeales): An Interplay of Chaos and Stability

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2020
European species of Nuphar are amongthe most accessible members of the basal angiosperm grade, but detailed studies using scanning electron microscopy are lacking. We provide such data and discuss them in the evolutionary context. Dorsiventral monopodial

Cellular and physiological functions of SGR family in gravitropic response in higher plants

open access: yesJournal of Advanced Research
Background: 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.

Gravitropic Analysis of Tomato Seedlings using Time Lapse Video Imaging

open access: yesBio-Protocol, 2015
Plants use gravity as a guide for growth and development. Gravitropism, a gravity-directed growth process, directs upward shoot movement for efficient photosynthesis and gaseous exchange. In addition, it also directs downward growth of roots in soil, for
