Abstract
Antimonate staining procedures and energy dispersive X-ray microanalytical techniques were used to determine the patterns of localization of calcium in nonstimulated and gravistimulated corn roots. In horizontally positioned roots within the region of the developing bend there was a change in the staining from that principally localized within cells of the stele to asymmetric staining within the vacuoles of the cortical cells along the upper root surface. There was little staining in the walls. The pattern observed is quite different from that seen in gravistimulated coleoptiles. Staining of mitochondria, plastids and Golgi stacks was seen in most cell types, but no asymmetry of staining was observed. In the rootcap where graviperception is thought to occur, there was little staining of any cellular organelles.This publication has 15 references indexed in Scilit:
