Definition of chemotropism in US English: chemotropismnoun A tropism, especially of a plant, in response to a particular substance. Example sentencesExamples - This kind of chemotropism is called ‘chemorepulsion’.
- This experiment actually looks at chemotropism for potassium, which is a macronutrient, so you will need to dilute your copper sulfate solution at 1 ml into 1 liter before you begin your watering.
- Here a complicated set of tropisms is involved from thigmotropism, or response to touch when the insect lights on the leaf, to a chemotropism in the secreting of digestive juices.
- But the notion of chemotropism came to fruition only a decade later in the context of nerve regeneration.
- Studies of chemotropism in yeast revealed important differences in the identity of the sensory pathways involved in gradient sensing in D. discoideum and Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Derivatives adjective ˌkēmōˈträpik Although they have been shown to function in nerve growth cones, the new studies [1,2] are the first to demonstrate that they have a role in chemotropic axon guidance. Example sentencesExamples - These findings support the hypothesis that chemotropic mechanisms guide developing axons to their intermediate targets in the vertebrate CNS.
- Growth factors delivered according to the invention exert a trophic effect at or near the delivery site (along chemotropic gradients stemming from the delivery site).
- Inhibition of this local protein synthesis blocks the turning responses of growth cones in a chemotropic gradient suggesting that local synthesis is involved in directional steering.
- A computational account of these results is proposed, based on a unified model that combines chemotropic gradients and spike-time-dependent synaptic plasticity.
adverb -ik(ə)lē If the axon reorients towards or away from the pipette it suggests that the molecule acts chemotropically to influence axon behavior. Example sentencesExamples - Upon germination, broomrape seeds develop a small radicle that grows chemotropically towards host roots and firmly connects to a host rootlet.
- Growth cones isolated from their cell bodies are able to navigate correctly along the visual pathway in vivo and to respond chemotropically to guidance factors in vitro.
- Hunger, for example, calls out motion through changes produced by katabolism in the organism, whereby it is attracted chemotropically to food.
