The morphology, growth and development of higher plants are strongly influenced by environmental stimuli on the earth, which affect the changes in the dynamics of plant hormones in plants. Qualitative and quantitative changes in plant hormones are the most important internal factor to regulate plant growth and development. Among them, auxin (IAA) is of most significant. There are numerous reports concerning the physiological roles of auxin in plant growth and development (Matthysse and Scott 1984). One of the characteristics of auxin is to have the ability of polar transport along the vector of gravity on the earth (Schneider and Wightman 1978), suggesting that the activity of auxin polar transport is also important for the growth and development of plants. It has recently been reported that the normal activity of auxin polar transport in inflorescence axis of Arabidopsis thaliana was required for flower formation (Okada et al. 1991, Ueda et al. 1992). Considering the above evidence together with the fact that gravity affects the morphology, growth and development of higher plants, gravity might affect the qualitative and quantitative changes in plant hormones including the activity of auxin polar transport. In this paper, we report the effect of microgravity condition simulated by a three-dimensional (3-D) or a horizontal clinostat on the activity of auxin polar transport in inflorescence axis of Arabidopsis thaliana.
