Geotropic Response of Coleoptiles under Anaerobic Conditions ' Malcolm B . Wilkins

چکیده

It has been reported recently that coleoptiles of Zea mays develop a geotropic response under anaerobic conditions (2). The geotropic response of a coleoptile arises from the differential growth of the upper and lower halves of the organ. At least 3 independent investigations have shown that in Avena sativa coleoptiles growth is totally arrested in the absence of 02 (1,6, 9). It is therefore difficult to reconcile the inhibition of growth under anaerobic conditions with the reported development of geotropic curvature. The geotropic responses in coleoptiles of Zea mays and Aventa sativa under anaerobic conditions have therefore been re-examined in an attempt to clarify this confused situation.

Relationship Between Metabolism and the Lateral Transport of IAA in Corn Coleoptiles.

The lateral movement of IAA in coleoptiles of Zea mays has been investigated under aerobic and anaerobic conditions. The IAA-1-(14)C was supplied asymmetrically to the apical end of the segment. The results were as follows: A) In air more (14)C was found in the lower half of horizontal segments supplied with an upper donor than in the half opposite the donor in vertical segments. The enhanced l...

Geotropic Response of Wheat Coleoptiles in Absence of Amyloplast Starch

Young coleoptiles of wheat (Triticum durum var. Henry), depleted of amyloplast starch by incubation at 30 degrees C with gibberellin plus kinetin, retained their geotropic responsiveness. Depleted coleoptiles curved upward more slowly than controls, but this was commensurate with their slower growth. The ratio of curvature to growth was about 50 degrees per mm of elongation in both cases. Newly...

Growth & geotropic curvature of Avena coleoptiles in presence of n-1-naphthylphthalamic acid.

The fact that geotropic curvature is mediated by unequal rates of elongation on opposite sides of the bending structure has led to the general implication that (lepression of these growth rates should cause a corresponding inhibition of geotropic curvature. Recently published results have revealed that this expected relationship was not always observed when plants were treated with compounds su...
