The root tip of Arabidopsis is the site of graviperception and early signaling events. Four tiers of cells comprise the columella of the Arabidopsis root cap, with tiers 1 through 3 being the most important for gravisensing. Each columella cell contains amyloplasts that sediment in the direction of gravity (arrows). Scale bar = 10 μm.
