Rotation axes for analysis of gravity effects on plant organs.

چکیده
Epinastic curvatures of branches of Coleus blumei Benth. and the growth pattern of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) seedlings on clinostats were used for bioassay of rotation methods for preventing growth responses to gravity. Tumbling a plant end over end was found to be just as effective as rotation about its horizontal axis. The results support the reliability of data from experiments in which an entire plant is rotated about a single horizontal line with only part or none of its immature tissues in horizontal orientation to gravity.

The Density-Driven Nanofluid Convection in an Anisotropic Porous Medium Layer with Rotation and Variable Gravity Field: A Numerical Investigation
In this study, a numerical examination of the significance of rotation and changeable gravitational field on the start of nanofluid convective movement in an anisotropic porous medium layer is shown. A model that accounts for the impact of Brownian diffusion and thermophoresis is used for nanofluid, while Darcy’s law is taken for the porous medium. The porous layer is subjected to uniform rotat...
متن کاملGravity Functions of Circumnutation by Hypocotyls of Helianthus annuus in Simulated Hypogravity.
For more than a decade research on the botanical mechanism responsible for circumnutation has centered on whether or not these nearly ubiquitous oscillations can be attributed to a hunting process whereby the plant organ continuously responds to the gravity force and, by overshooting each stimulus, initiates a sustained oscillation or, driven by a not yet defined autogenic mechanism, performs o...
متن کاملNavigating in a Virtual 3d-maze: Two Competitive Frames of References for Perceiving and Memorising
Although recent studies have brought new insights concerning the mechanisms of spatial memory and cognitive strategies during navigation, most of these studies have concerned 2D navigation and little is know concerning the problem of 3D spatial memory. In a previous experiment we have studied the influence of the relation between egocentric and allocentric frame of references on memorisation of...

Abstract. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of topographical factors on the classification of grassland plant communities in the rangelands of Ghorkhud, Northern Khorasan Province, Iran. For sampling, land units were specified. A floristic list was prepared using minimal area method based on the nested plot (Braun-Blanquet method). 116 10m2 furrows were selected. Within e...
متن کاملSpinning versus wobbling: how the brain solves a geometry problem.
Oscillating an animal out-of-phase simultaneously about the roll and pitch axes ("wobble") changes continuously the orientation of the head relative to gravity. For example, it may gradually change from nose-up, to ear-down, nose-down, ear-down, and back to nose-up. Rotations about the longitudinal axis ("spin") can change the orientation of the head relative to gravity in the same way, provide...
