Transcriptome analysis of apple rootstocks with different stem-root gravitropic setpoint angles

Auxin Controls Gravitropic Setpoint Angle in Higher Plant Lateral Branches

Lateral branches in higher plants are often maintained at specific angles with respect to gravity, a quantity known as the gravitropic setpoint angle (GSA) [1]. Despite the importance of GSA control as a fundamental determinant of plant form, the mechanisms underlying gravity-dependent angled growth are not known. Here we address the central questions of how stable isotropic growth of a branch ...

Rootstocks for Size Control in Apple Trees

New insights into root gravitropic signalling.

An important feature of plants is the ability to adapt their growth towards or away from external stimuli such as light, water, temperature, and gravity. These responsive plant growth movements are called tropisms and they contribute to the plant's survival and reproduction. Roots modulate their growth towards gravity to exploit the soil for water and nutrient uptake, and to provide anchorage. ...

The developmental and environmental regulation of gravitropic setpoint angle in Arabidopsis and bean

Root and shoot branches are major determinants of plant form and critical for the effective capture of resources below and above ground. These branches are often maintained at specific angles with respect to gravity, known as gravitropic set point angles (GSAs). We have previously shown that the mechanism permitting the maintenance of non-vertical GSAs is highly auxin-dependent and here we inve...

Analysis of Incompressible fluid flow over wedge with different angles

The title of our research paper is “Analysis of Incompressible fluid flow over wedge with different angles”. The basic objective of this research work is to optimize the fluid flow over different wedges and it angles. The optimization is done by varying wedge angle, its parameters considering fluid flow parameters also. The analysis of wedge is carried out in both 3D and 2D from which various r...
