根的生长特性 趋肥性 向水性(Hydrotropism ) A tropism is generally termed ‘‘positive’’ if growth is toward the signal and ‘‘negative’’ if it is away from the signal. Fig. 1. Illustration of the vertically oriented (g, gravity vector) experimental apparatus used by Kobayashi et al. (4) to study hydrotropism in roots of (A) WT and (B) mutant Arabidopsis seedlings. When seedlings are grown on agar, the water potential (WP) is high. Roots then grow beyond the edge of the agar into humid air with a moisture gradient as shown. Roots of WT seedlings (A) grow downward to the edge and then upward toward the higher
