Schmidt W, Galland P
Abstract excerpt
The negative gravitropism of the sporangiophores of Phycomyeces blakesleeanus Burgeff is elicited by different sensory inputs, which include flexure of the growing zone, buoyance of lipid globules and sedimentation of paracrystalline proteins, so-called octahedral crystals (C. Schimek et al., 1999a, Planta 210: 132-142). Gravity-induced absorbance changes (GIACs), which are associated with primary events of...
