Abstract: 
Gravitropism of the protonemata of the moss Pohlia nutans (Hedw.) is studied after the treatment with auxin transport inhibitors and auxin-related substances. The phytotropin NPA (naphthylphthalamic acid) known to block auxin efflux in higher plants inhibited gravitropic curvature of apical protonemal cells. The auxin 1-NAA (N-1-naphtylphthalamic acid) did not impair gravitropism of protonemata but reduced the inhibitory effect of NPA. IAA (indole-3-acetic acid), even at high concentrations, did not interfere with protonemal gravitropism. In line with our results, the auxin transport and action in a unicellular graviresponse system are discussed.
Keywords: auxin transport, gravitropism, inhibitors
