Geotropism of Agriolimax
On an inclined glass plate the slug Agriolimax orients and creeps upward or downward. The angle of orientation on the plane (theta) is proportional to the logarithm of the component of gravity in the creeping plane. The coefficient of variability of the measured values of (theta) decreases linearly as the logarithm at the gravity component in the creeping plane increases. The cosine of the angl...
متن کاملRespiration and Geotropism in Vicia Faba. I
In this paper there are given the results of a study of the relation of respiration to temperature, in seedlings of Vicia faba, and of the onset of geotropic response. It is shown that with due care and very accurate control of temperature constancy, one can get constant excretion of CO(2) even over fairly long periods. The treatment of the experimental data shows that the Q(10) ratio is of cou...
متن کاملGeotropism and Muscle Tension in Helix
1. The snail Helix aspersa Müller, is negatively geotropic during the daytime, but positive or indifferent at night. 2. The precision of geotropic orientation is a function of the gravity component acting on the body. 3. The rate of geotropic locomotion is also determined by the gravity component (sine of the angle of inclination). 4. The rate of upward movement is increased 1.51 times at 45 de...
متن کاملInhibition of shoot geotropism by neutral buffers.
Submerged hypocotyl sections from Helianthus have been used to test the effect of neutral buffers on shoot geotropism. When hypocotyls have been abraded, it is found that increasing the molarity (0.25 to 20 mm) of pH 6.8 K-phosphate buffer, as well as other buffering systems, results in a strong inhibition of geotropic curvature. Buffer strength has no such effect on the curvature of nonabraded...
متن کاملOn Reversal of Geotropism in Asterina
A certain level of strychninization induces in Asterina reversal of geotropism from the normally geonegative movement to a persistent downward creeping. The effect of an attached float producing upward pull is to induce upward creeping, under these conditions, whereas normally it leads to downward movement. This reversal cannot be regarded as due to a mere intensification of the sensory effect ...
