The cleoptiles when under treatment it shows a 24-hour dark treatment when the coleoptiles are intact they will be straight and tall, when the tip is removed there will be no growth they will remain straight and short. When micar is inserted there will be no growth at all but when agar is inserted, they are straight and tall.

The coleoptile if put in a directional light treatment, the intact coleoptile will be tall and bent and when the tip is removed, there will be no growth it will only be straight and short. When micar is inserted there will be no growth and when agar is inserted they will be tall and straight.
