Diagravitropism in corn roots.
The diagravitropic behavior of Merit corn (Zea mays L.) roots grown in darkness provides an opportunity for comparison of two qualitatively different gravitropic systems. As with positive gravitropism, diagravitropism is shown to require the presence of the root cap, have a similar time course for the onset of curvature, and a similar presentation time. In contrast with positive gravitropism,...
متن کاملAsparagine synthetase in corn roots.
The level of asparagine synthetase is low in 10-mm root tips from corn seedings (Zea mays W64 x W182F) but relatively high in mature root sections taken 20 to 35 mm from the tip. When root tips are excised there is a marked increase in asparagine synthetase over a 5-hour period. In mature root sections, on the other hand, the asparagine synthetase activity declines over the same 5-hour period. ...
متن کاملExocellular Enzymes of Corn Roots.
Little attention has been given to the occurrence of exocellular hydrolytic enzymes associated with the roots of higher plants. Such enzymes, if present, could solubilize macromolecular constituents of organic soils, permitting uptake and utilization by the plant of the resultant low molecular weight organic compounds. The present work supports this concept by demonstrating that several exocell...
متن کاملRadial Salt Transport in Corn Roots ' Grace
Summtiizary. Primary roots of solution--grown, 5-day-old or 6-day-old seedlings of corn (Zea mays L.) 10 to 14 cm in length were used to study radial salt trtansport. Measurements were made of the volume of root pressure exudation, salt concentration of the exudate, and rate of salt movement into the xylem exudate. The 32p uptake, 09 consumption, and dehydrogenase activity of the root cortex an...
متن کاملElectrical Correlates of Growth in Corn Roots *
All mature living organisms possess relatively constant potential differences ibetween any two points. To some extent, at least, these standing potential differences are a measure of an electrical reservoir, which may be called upon by the various organ systems during activity. They can be measured at all times during life and disappear upon death. They are arranged in characteristic patterns a...
