✦ Synopsis

Investigations into the relationship between the light-induced inhibition of root elongation and the response of Zea mays primary roots to gravity have revealed a close similarity between growth-inhibiting factor(s) produced in response to both stimuli. Evidence is presented that the inhibiting factor(s) produced in the root cap on exposure to white light can be used by the root to produce curvature in response to gravitational stimulation in darkness, i.e. under conditions in which dark exposed roots do not normally respond to gravity.The implications of these findings on the way in which roots respond to geotropic stimulation are discussed.

Light-induced inhibition of the elongation of primary roots of Zea mays seedlings is dependent upon the perception of light by the root cap. Separate exposure of detached root caps and roots from which root caps have been removed (i.e. decapped roots) to white light or darkness has shown that the el

The main barriers to the movement of water and ions in young roots of Zea mays were located by observing the effects of wounding various cell layers of the cortex on the roots' hydraulic conductivities and root pressures. These parameters were measured with a root pressure probe. Injury to the epide
