Because of the necessity of water acquisition, root hydrotropism has been suggested as an important tropism. Despite the difficulty of separating hydrotropism from gravitropism on Earth, our previous results suggested that root gravitropism interferes hydrotropism and that auxin plays pivotal role in both tropisms. Furthermore, both hydrotropism and gravitropism are found to be accompanied with asymmetric expressions of auxin-inducible genes. Based on these evidences, we proposed to use the microgravity environment to separate hydrotropism from gravitropism and dissect respective mechanisms in cucumber roots, which has been approved as a forthcoming spaceflight experiment by International Space Life Science Working Group in 2004. In this presentation, we describe recent ground-based experiments for demonstration of cucumber root hydrotropism in space., 資料番号: AA0063349101}, pages = {355--355}, publisher = {宇宙航空研究開発機構宇宙科学研究本部, Institute of Space and Astronautical Science, Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA/ISAS)}, title = {疑似微小重力下での根の水分屈性におけるオーキシン動態制御の重要性}, year = {2007} }
