The present state of our knowledge of phototropic and geotropic responses in plant organs is summarized, and an attempt made to identify aspects of these responses that might be studied advantageously in a 0 g environment. The paper aims to provide a background for non-specialists and to initiate critical discussion of the best ways to exploit the facilities provided by the Spacelab project in the study of plant guidance systems.
本文总结了我们目前对植物器官向光性和向地性反应的认识，并试图确定这些反应中在零重力环境下可能有利于研究的方面。本文旨在为非专业人士提供背景知识，并引发关于在研究植物导向系统中利用太空实验室项目提供的设施的最佳方法的批判性讨论。
