Picture 1. A 'simulated time-lapse' photograph (A and B) and a actual photograph (C) of the upward bending response of a gravistimulated snapdraogn flowering stalk. Color slides were taken at regular intervals were scanned into a computer after which a time-lapse effect was created by overlaying sever individual image. (A) 'simulated time-lapse' of the upward bending and over bending during the first 9.5 hours. After the first phase the shoot started to bent back to a vertical position, which is shown in pict. 1 B. After reaching the vertical position for a second time, the shoot was replaced to its original upright position. After 24 hours a photograph (C) was taken. The bending zones (B.Z.) are marked with respectively B.Z.1 and 2.
