An ion microscope has been used to demonstrate that the calcium ion is present in the amyloplasts of root-cap cells of corn, pea, and lettuce. The localization of calcium in the gravity-sensing organelle suggests a possible role of calcium in the gravity-sensing mechanism of plant roots.
离子显微镜已被用于证明钙离子存在于玉米、豌豆和生菜根帽细胞的淀粉体中。钙在重力感受细胞器中的定位表明钙可能在植物根的重力感应机制中发挥作用。
