NA, not applicable, because chemical has little or no effect on gravitropism. ND, not determined.
Estimated concentration resulting in 50% inhibition after 24-h gravistimulation.
Lengths are reported as a percentage of the untreated controls.
Length measurements performed at the concentrations indicated.
