Gravity Signaling in Flowering Plant Roots
Gravity sensing involves the sedimentation of starch-filled plastids (statoliths) within the columella cells of the root cap (the statocytes), which triggers a relocalization of plasma membrane-associated PIN auxin efflux facilitators to the lower side of the cell.

10.1: Plant Sensory Systems and Responses
Plant Responses to Gravity. Whether or not they germinate in the light or in total darkness, shoots usually sprout up from the ground, and roots grow downward into the ground. A plant laid on its side in the dark will send shoots upward when given enough time. Gravitropism ensures that roots grow into the soil and that shoots grow toward sunlight.

Plant responses to gravity
Gravitropism is the ability of plants to perceive and respond to the gravity vector and orient themselves accordingly. The gravitropic pathway can be divided into three main components: perception, biochemical signaling, and differential growth.

Abstract. Tropisms are growth-mediated plant movements that help plants to respond to changes in environmental stimuli. The availability of water and light, as well as the presence of a constant gravity vector, are all environmental stimuli that plants sense and respond to via directed growth movements (tropisms).

Plant responses to hypergravity: a comprehensive review
The plant responses to hypergravity can be a function of hypergravity intensity and the duration of exposure (Nunes et al. 2018).Moreover, since the plants or seeds perceive hypergravity as a mechanical force—through mechanosensors rather than gravity vector through statoliths (Soga et al. 2005a; Hattori et al. 2020)—it is reported that the mass of the cell/protoplast in totality could ...

Gravity is one of the most stable and ubiquitous environmental parameters on the surface of the earth and it ranges from 9.764 to 9.834 m/s 2 (Hirt et al. 2013) in air or water.Gravitational force can be considered as the product of mass and standard gravity (g).As a plant grows and increases its biomass, gravitational force that is exerted on the plant body …

9.24: Plant Responses
Plant Tropisms. Plant roots always grow downward because specialized cells in root caps detect and respond to gravity. This is an example of a tropism. A tropism is a turning toward or away from a stimulus in the environment. Growing toward gravity is called geotropism. Plants also exhibit phototropism, or growing toward a

Gravity sensing and signal conversion in plant gravitropism
Introduction. Gravity is a fundamental physical force that acts on all organisms on Earth. Plant organs sense gravity as a directional environmental cue that they use to control their growth orientation and their body architecture in order to promote their survival, for example via efficient photosynthesis, reproduction, water absorption, and nutrient uptake; such growth …
