Dynamics of Amyloplast Sedimentation in Growing Yam Tubers and Its Possible Role in Graviperception
The mechanism of gravitropism in yam tubers was investigated using two cultivars of Chinese yam, cv. Nagaimo which elongates to form a long tuber, and cv. Genkotsujirou which elongates in the initial stage and then spherically thickens. In both cultivars, many amyloplasts were locally formed and set...
