Avoidance and rheotropic responses in phycomyces. Evidence for an 'avoidance gas" mechanism
If a mature sporangiophore is placed next to a barrier that is moving in a clockwise direction, it grows both away from the barrier and into the wind; the wind is generated by the moving barrier itself. When the barrier is moving in a counterclockwise direction, the sporangiophore grows towards both the barrier and the wind. The net direction of growth appears to be the vector sum of the rheotr...
متن کاملThe Avoidance Response in Phycomyces
Phycomyces sporangiophores grow away from stationary objects, a phenomenon known as the avoidance response. Evidence is presented suggesting that a growth-stimulating gas is emitted from the sporangiophore and is then swept to the leeward side by air currents resulting in higher gas concentration on that side. The presence of a stationary barrier decreases the passive movement of the gas away f...
متن کاملAvoidance response, house response, and wind responses of the sporangiophore of Phycomyces
Avoidance response: An object placed 1 mm from the growing zone of a Phycomyces sporangiophore elicits a tropic response away from the object. The dependence of this response on the size of the object and its distance from the specimen is described, as well as measurements which exclude electric fields, electromagnetic radiation, temperature, and humidity as avoidance-mediating signals. This re...
متن کاملImprovement of the mechanism of congestion avoidance in mobile networks
Mobile ad hoc network congestion control is a significant problem. Standard mechanism for congestion control (TCP), the ability to run certain features of a wireless network, several mutations are not common. In particular, the enormous changes in the network topology and the joint nature of the wireless network. It also creates significant challenges in mobile ad hoc networks (MANET), density ...
متن کاملPhycomyces: TURGOR PRESSURE BEHAVIOR DURING THE LIGHT AND AVOIDANCE GROWTH RESPONSES
The turgor pressure of the stage 4b sporangiophore of Phycornyces blakesleeanus was continuously measured with a pressure probe before and during a period of increased elongational growth rate elicited by a step-up in blue light fluence rate (a positive light growth response) or by a double-barrier stimulus (avoidance growth response). In these and other experiments it was found that a step-up ...
