RESUMO
Using horizontal and vertical axis clinostats and sand-grown oat seedlings (Avena sativa), it was found that horizontal clinostat rotation at 2 rpm increased respiration and inorganic and organic phosphorus content of seedlings. Increased coleoptile geotropism and root growth are attributed to rotational nullification of the directional component of the gravitational stimulus. These growth modifications are mechanistically explicable by the relationship between plant metabolism and auxin concentration in these organs.
