  • Title: Kinetics of stem gravitropism in Coprinus cinereus: determination of presentation time and "dosage-response" relationships using clinostats.
    Author: Hatton JP, Moore D.
    Journal: FEMS Microbiol Lett; 1992 Dec 15; 79(1-3):81-6. PubMed ID: 11541046.
    Abstract:
    The sensitivity to gravitational stimulation of excised stems of the mushroom fruit body of Coprinus cinereus was determined using clinostat rotation to remove partially-stimulated stems from the normal unidirectional gravitational field. For the strain and conditions tested, the presentation time (the minimum time of stimulation required to elicit a gravitropic reaction) was determined to be 9.6 min. This is the first time the presentation time has been determined for a fungal gravitropic response. Constructional details are given of the clinostats employed in the research and their further use is discussed.
