What reading level is Practical Physiology of Plants book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It will be found that the tendrils show no signs of curving ; they must now be touched with the uncoated part of the rod, to prove that the absence of movement is not due to want of sensitiveness.
On a windy day (if the experiment is made out-of- doors) it may be a little difficult to make sure that, in the first part of the experiment, the tendril does not come into contact with the uncoated part of the rod : it is for this reason that a good length of gelatine coating is recom- mended. The te...ndril can however easily be held still by touching its convex (insensitive) side with another gela- tine rod ; the slight stickiness of the gelatine fixes the tendril while the observer manipulates with the first rod.
1 Untersuchiingen aus d. Hot. Institut zu Tubingen, i. 1885, p. 4^3, - Pfeffer uses solutions containing from 5 to 1-4 per cent, of air-dry gelatine.
202 MIMOSA. [CH. VIII (232) Mimosa: movements j^'i^oduced hy stimulation.
The nature of the movements of Mimosa sensitiva may be seen by giving the plant a shake, when the main petioles will be seen to sink, the second petioles to move together, and the leaflets to close.
