CHAPTER XI.
LOCALISED SENSITIVENESS TO GRAVITATION, AND ITS TRANSMITTED EFFECTS.
General considerations--Vicia faba, effects of amputating the tips of the
radicles--Regeneration of the tips--Effects of a short exposure of the tips
to geotropic action and their subsequent amputation--Effects of amputating
the tips obliquely--Effects of cauterising the tips--Effects of grease on
the tips--Pisum
[page x.]
sativum, tips of radicles cauterised transversely, and on their upper and
lower sides--Phaseolus, cauterisation and grease on the tips--Gossypium--
Cucurbita, tips cauterised transversely, and on their upper and lower
sides--Zea, tips cauterised--Concluding remarks and summary of chapter--
Advantages of the sensibility to geotropism being localised in the tips of
the radicles.
