p. 7. H. Müller of Thurgau showed that heliotropically bent stem is curved back through apogeotrop. must quote in length

[Movement in plants, p. 465, n: "It appears from a reference in Wiesner ('Die Undulirende Nutation der Internodien,' p. 7), that H. Müller of Thurgau found that a stem which is bending heliotropically is at the same time striving, through apogeotropism, to raise itself into a vertical position."]

Godlewski - Bot. Z. 1879. p 119. The retarding influence of light on growth well known to all Botanists - by Prantl Proved beyond doubt for stems by Sachs, & Leaves & Vines

p. 119 - attributes it to light lessening the extensibility of the stretched layer of the cells or cell.

[Movement in plants, p. 485, n: "Emil Godlewski has given ('Bot. Zeitung,' 1879, Nos. 6-9) an excellent account (p. 120) of the present state of the question. See also Vines in 'Arbeiten des Bot. Inst. in Würzburg,' 1878, B. ii. pp. 114-147."]
