Other claims from this paper (5)
- Observation Upright decapitated maize coleoptile segments showed strong spontaneous growth after three hours.
- Intervention effect Inversion markedly reduced the latent period of spontaneous growth in decapitated segments.
- Intervention effect Inverted segments with intact tips showed a typical spontaneous growth response.
- Mechanism Parallel increases in membrane potential difference and growth rate suggested a possible role for PM H+-ATPase in spontaneous growth.
- Mechanism The data contradicted a time-dependent increase in auxin sensitivity as the cause of spontaneous growth.
