Abstract excerpt
Roots display positive hydrotropism in response to moisture gradient. Hydrotropism regulates the directional growth by interaction with other growth movements. Using the seedlings of pea, cucumber, maize and wheat, we have revealed that the root cap perceives the moisture gradient and that auxin and calcium are involved in hydrotropism. However, molecular mechanisms for stimulus perception or signal transduction...
