Abstrakt: Abstract: Circumnutation oscillations of hypocotyls were studied in Norway spruce and Scots pine using time-lapse cinematography. It was found that the circumnutations were specific in species. The analysis of hypocotyl ontogeny (100 h) revealed a different duration of the phases I, II and III of nutation oscillations in the first and second taxon. From the quantitative point of view it can be stated that during the phase I of nutation oscillations the Norway spruce hypocotyls exhibited higher frequency activity (corrections in direction of the hypocotyl by an elongation-controlling system corrected by a feedback mechanism), while in the phase III of nutation oscillations higher growth rate and larger amplitudes were observed in the Scots pine hypocotyl when compared with those of Norway spruce. The hypocotyl hook appeared only in Norway spruce.
