Page 387: The caption to Figure 17.12 should read as follows:"Figure 17.12 Thigmotropic (touch-sensitive) leaf movements of Mimosa pudica. (A) Leaflets open. (B) Leaflets closed. Similar leaflet movements occur diurnally in nyctonasty. (Photos © David Sieren/Visuals Unlimited.)"
Page 388: In the first column, second paragraph, the fourth sentence should read as follows: "Leaflets open when the ventral motor cells accumulate K+ and Cl-, causing them to swell, while the dorsal motor cells release K+ and Cl-, causing them to shrink."
Chapter 19
Page 432: The first full paragraph in the second column should read as follows: "A demonstration of the lack of effect of gravity on basipetal auxin transport is shown in Figure 19.12. When stem cuttings, in this case grape hardwood, are placed in a moist chamber, adventitious roots form at the basal ends of the cuttings, and shoots form at the apical ends, even when the cuttings are inverted. Roots form at the base because root differentiation is stimulated by auxin accumulation due to basipetal transport. Shoots tend to form at the apical end where the auxin concentration is lowest."
Page 433: The caption to figure 19.12 should read as follows: "Adventitious roots grow from the basal ends, and shoots grow from the apical ends, of grape hardwood cuttings, whether they are maintained in the inverted (the two cuttings on the left) or upright orientation (the cuttings on the right). The roots always form at the basal ends because polar auxin transport is independent of gravity. (From Hartmann and Kester 1983.)"
Page 445: In Figure 19.29 the left-hand photo should be labeled (A), and the right-hand photo should be labeled (B). Also, the caption should read as follows:
"Figure 19.29 Lateral auxin gradients are formed in Arabidopsis hypocotyls during the differential growth responses to light (A). Treatment with the auxin efflux inhibitor NPA blocks auxin redistribution and bending (B). The plants were transformed with the DR5::GUS reporter gene. Auxin accumulation on the shaded side of the hypocotyls is indicated by the blue staining shown in the insets (A). A similar redistribution of auxin occurs in gravitropism.
