This volume provides the plant scientific community with a
collection of established and recently developed experimental
protocols to study plant gravitropism. The first few chapters in
this book discuss topics such as methods to properly orient plant
material for gravitropism studies; protocols for data collection
and image analysis; and techniques to investigate ion, organelle,
and auxin transporter dynamics, particularly in living cells, as
the plant is responding to a change in its orientation. The next
few chapters talk about topics that are essential for
understanding the complexities underlying tropisms and plant
movements in general, and outline basic protocols on handling
ornamental flowering shoots for basic plant gravitropism studies.
The book concludes with chapters that discuss plant biological
studies in space in order to take advantage of unique
microgravity conditions not available in Earth-based studies.
