| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In order to elucidate the mechanisms of phototropism and gravitropism phenomena of higher plants, the isolation, structure determination, and mode of action of bioactive substances involved in both phenomena were carried out. Both phenomena have been explained in the Cholodny-Went theory, which was thought to be caused by the deviation distribution of plant hormones. However, in this study, the results support the Bruinsma-Hasegawa theory that it is caused by the deviation distribution of other bioactive substances involved in both phenomena.
