The response of plant roots to gravity has fascinated many botanists since the early days of plant physiology and much research has been devoted to the elucidation of the sequence of events between the physical reception of gravity and the visible growth response. In the last few decades the ideas on the graviresponse of roots have changed profoundly and much progress has been made in understanding parts of the process. One of the reasons for writing this review was my curiosity to know what has happened since the time I myself was involved in the study of root geotropism, as it was called, about 30 years ago. Some excellent reviews have appeared since then, e.g. Audus (1975), Jackson & Barlow (1981) and Moore & Evans (1986), which were more restricted in scope and, moreover, there have been several fascinating developments. The aim of this review is to discuss briefly all aspects of the graviresponse of roots and the progress made in understanding during the last three decades. Some data on other plant organs are included where appropriate.
从植物生理学的早期开始,植物根系对重力的反应就吸引了许多植物学家,许多研究都致力于阐明物理接收重力和可见生长反应之间的一系列事件。在过去的几十年里,关于根的重力反应的观点发生了深刻的变化,在理解这一过程的部分方面取得了很大的进展。写这篇评论的原因之一是我很好奇,想知道自从大约30年前我自己参与根向地性研究以来发生了什么。从那时起,出现了一些优秀的评论,例如Audus (1975), Jackson & Barlow(1981)和Moore & Evans(1986),这些评论的范围更受限制,此外,还有一些引人入胜的发展。这篇综述的目的是简要讨论根的重力响应的所有方面以及在过去三十年中在理解方面取得的进展。适当时还包括了其他植物器官的一些数据。
