(c) Chemical Stimuli In the same way as light and gravity, heat and electricity, when their action is one-sided, may bring about directive movements of the plant. Since, however, these movements play no great part in nature they need not be further considered. Those directive movements which are brought about by the unequal distribution of dissolved or gaseous substances in the neighbourhood of the plant are of much greater importance; these movements are termed chemotactic and chemotropic. Chkmotropism (102). In the case of Fungi and of pollen-tubes chemotropic movements have been demonstrated which bring the organism into a certain concentration of particular substances; this concentration is the optimal one. With the same organism and the same stimulating substance these movements are sometimes positive and sometimes negative; positive when they lead towards a higher concentration of the substance, and negative in the converse case. In the case of pollen-tubes sugar is the chief substance that acts as a stimulus; in fungi, in addition to sugar, peptone, asparagin, compounds of ammonia and phosphates. There are also substances such as free acids which always have a repellent influence even in extremely weak concentration.
