 sponse ; (c) Growth-response ; (d) Torsional response ; (e) Death 

 response ; (/) Thermographs of regional death ; [g) Electrical response 

 — Different types of response : {a) Uniform response ; (b) Fatigue ; 

 (c) Staircase response — Excitability — Conductivity — Polar effects of 

 currents — Multiple response — Continuity of multiple and autonomous 

 responses — The ascent of sap ........ 703 



CHAPTER LI 



RESPONSIVE GROWTH-CURVATURES IN PLANTS 



Longitudinal growth and its variations, — Effect of temperature on growth — 

 Responsive growth-curvature under unilateral stimulation : — 1. Direct 

 unilateral stimulus on the responding organ : {a) Positive response 

 under moderate stimulation ; (b) Intermediate or neutral response ; {c) 

 Negative response ; (d) Dorsi-ventral positive response ; (e) Dorsi-ventral 

 response which may become negative — 2. Indirect effect of uni- 

 lateral stimulation : (a) Negative response ; (b) Positive response — 

 Responsive action under stimulus of gravity — Heliotropic action in radial 

 organs — Heliotropic action in plagiotropic and dorsi-ventral organs — 

 Phototactic movements — Nyctitropic movements . . . . 7 2 5
