Abstract: Gravitropism is the directional control of plant organ growth in response to gravity. Specialized gravity-sensing cells contain amyloplasts that can change their position according to the direction of gravity. Gravity signaling, which is elicited by… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2021.651928
Abstract: Gravity is a major cue for the proper growth and development of plants. The response of plants to gravity implies starch-filled plastids, the statoliths, which sediments at the bottom of the gravisensing cells, the statocytes.… read more here.
