Amyloplasts That Sediment in Protonemata of the Moss Ceratodon purpureus Are Nonrandomly Distributed in Microgravity1
Little is known about whether or how plant cells regulate the position of heavy organelles that sediment toward gravity. Dark-grown protonemata of the moss Ceratodon purpureus displays a complex plastid zonation in that only some amyloplasts sediment along the length of the tip cell. If gravity is the major force determining the position of amyloplasts that sediment, then these plastids should be randomly distributed in space. Instead, amyloplasts were clustered in the ...
