Other claims from this paper (12)
- Intervention effect Circumnutation of sunflower stems was weak in the light stage compared with the dark stage, where it reached a high level.
- Intervention effect In the light stage, growth rate reached the same high level as in the dark stage.
- Intervention effect In the light stage, stem circumnutation was downregulated more strongly than growth.
- Intervention effect Switching off the light increased growth and circumnutation rate.
- Intervention effect Switching the light on caused an immediate transient decrease in growth rate.
- Intervention effect Switching the light on resulted in stem contraction.
- Intervention effect Switching the light on was accompanied by an almost complete pause of circumnutation.
- Intervention effect Under light, the magnitude of circumnutation subsequently decreased.
- Intervention effect Under light, circumnutation trajectory was disturbed.
- Intervention effect Under light, the direction of rotation changed in some cases.
- Association Disturbances of growth rate are accompanied by changes in circumnutation parameters.
- Association There is no simple quantitative relation between growth rate and circumnutation rate.
