 sponse ; (c) Growth-response ; {(/) Torsional response ; (e) Death 

 response ; (/) Thermographs of regional death ; (i/-) Electrical response 

 — Different types of respon:-,e : (a) Uniform response ; (d) Fatigue ; 

 {<-) Staircase response — Excitability — Conductivity — Polar effects of 

 currents — Multiple response — Continuity of multiple and autonomous 

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

RESPONSIVE GROWTH-CURVATURES IN PLANTS 



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

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

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

 under moderate stimulation ; (3) 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 ; (/>) 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 ..... 725
