Here are entered works on hypothetical waves predicted by the general theory of relativity that are created by disturbances of matter and travel through space at the speed of light propagating gravitational fields. Works on waves in a fluid medium that are generated by the force of gravity, such as those between air and water at an ocean's surface or between layers of air in the Earth's atmosphere, are entered under Gravity waves
Acceleration produced by the mutual attraction of two masses, and of magnitude inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the two centers of mass. It is also the force imparted by the earth, moon, or a planet to an object near its surface. (From NASA Thesaurus, 1988)

Graviton : Gravitational solitons / V. Belinski, E. Verdaguer
The directional growth of organisms in response to gravity. In plants, the main root is positively gravitropic (growing downwards) and a main stem is negatively gravitropic (growing upwards), irrespective of the positions in which they are placed. Plant gravitropism is thought to be controlled by auxin (AUXINS), a plant growth substance. (From Concise Dictionary of Biology, 1990)
