Characterization of hydrotropism: the timing of perception and signal movement from the root cap in the agravitropic pea mutant ageotropum.

Abstract excerpt

In recent years, experiments have demonstrated that the gravity response of roots can be separated from the hydrotropic response by using the agravitropic pea mutant ageotropum. Though this mutant has been a useful tool for demonstrating the existence of the hydrotropic response of roots, little is known about how perception, transduction, transmission, and the growth response is accomplished. In this study, we...
