Gravity compensation by the horizontal clinostat increases the diameter of amyloplast starch grains of oat (Avena sativa cv. Victory) coleoptile parenchyma cells, as compared to vertically rotated and stationary controls. In dark-grown coleoptile tip parenchyma cells, measured starch grain sizes exhibit a wide distribution of diameters, from approximately 1.5 to approximately 8.0 mum, but fall into three prominent diameter classes. The compensated tissues from both the tip and the subapical region have more starch grains in the larger, and fewer in the smaller size classes, compared to controls. The total number of starch grains per cell, the total plastid number per cell, and cell volume are unaffected by gravity compensation. Amyloplasts with large starch grains are denser, as well as larger in diameter, than those with smaller starch grains. The amyloplast is considered as a geosensor with an active metabolic role in the geotropic transduction mechanism.
