Some dependencies that can be calculated from the model parameters for Coprinopsis cinerea (mushroom) stems are shown in the two panels below. For both panels, the vertical axis is given in percent of the maximal value that both perception functions (S, R) acquire in the horizontal position (0 degrees to horizontal) and both distribution functions (A, L) acquire in the apex (represented by 0 on the horizontal axis)). The dashed lines show 95 % confidence intervals

Gravitropic perception in the apex (S) and the local perception (R) shown as functions of the reorientation angle, which is apex angle for S and the local angle for R. Distribution of ability for local perception of the gravitropic signal (L) and straightening reaction (A) through the length of the stem.
