Figure 4

Clinostat-centrifuge experiments showing gravity-independent gravitropic sensitivity under both hypo and hypergravity.

(a) Sketch of the clinostat mounted on the rotating table, where ω is the angular velocity around the horizontal axis and Ω is the angular velocity of the centrifugal motion. (b) Gravitropic sensitivity of wheat coleoptiles as a function of the effective gravity (initial inclination θinit = 90°). Means of values in bins of equal ranges in gravity intensity are shown (red circles) with the mean over the whole dataset (dashed blue line).
