How Ethylene decreases the sensitivity to gravity?
Dear student.
Movement or growth away from the earth (gravity) is known as apogeotropic movement.
Ethylene has the ability to nullify geotropism (gravity) by decreasing the sensitivity of root tip towards geotropic stimulus. Ethylene does so by modifying the sensory perception (by signal transduction) resides for gravitropism in the root cap. This makes root apogeotropic.
The signal transduction mechanism is not necessary to learn for your present grades.
Hope this information will clear your doubts about the topic.
