Analytical Solution of the Proprio-Graviceptive equation for shoot gravitropism of plants
Renaud Bastien, Bruno Moulia, Stéphane Douady +1
We derive the analytical solutions to the second order generalised gravi-proprioceptive equation given in our recent paper [Bastien et al. 2012]. These equations show how plants ad…
