plant hormones

Cards (42)

  • Auxins are plant hormones that promote cell elongation and are involved in tropisms such as phototropism and gravitropism.
  • Ethylene is produced during ripening and aging processes and promotes fruit softening and abscission.
  • Gibberellins stimulate seed germination by promoting enzyme production and increasing respiration rates.
  • Cytokinins regulate the growth rate of cells, particularly meristematic tissues, and can inhibit senescence.
  • Auxins promote cell division and elongation, causing cells to become longer but not wider.
  • The main auxin is indole-3-acetic acid (IAA).
  • Auxins are produced by the shoot apical meristem, young leaves, buds, and flowers.
  • Abscisic acid is a plant hormone that regulates stomatal closure and promotes seed dormancy.
  • Chemotropism is a tropism in which plants respond to chemicals by growing towards or away from them.
  • Cytokinins regulate the growth rate of cells, particularly meristematic tissues, and delay senescence.
  • Gibberellins control seed germination, flower development, and leaf drop.
  • Cytokinins regulate the growth rate, delay senescence, and stimulate shoot formation.
  • Auxins cause curvature towards light (phototropic response) or away from gravity (gravitropic response).
  • Abscisic acid inhibits seed germination, causes stomatal closure, and induces dormancy.
  • Abscisic acid (ABA) regulates water loss from leaves and helps plants cope with drought stress.
  • Abscisic acid inhibits seed germination and causes leaf drop in response to drought stress.
  • The concentration gradient of auxins determines the direction of growth.
  • Plant hormones play important roles in various physiological processes including seed dormancy, flower development, leaf abscission, root hair formation, and pollen tube guidance.
  • Auxins move through the phloem from source to sink tissue.
  • Hormone action involves binding to receptors on target cells, leading to changes in gene expression or protein synthesis.
  • Auxins move through the phloem from source to sink tissue.
  • Auxins also play a role in apical dominance, where they prevent lateral bud development.
  • Plant hormones play important roles in various physiological processes including growth regulation, developmental control, and responses to environmental signals.
  • Auxins are synthesized in shoot tips and young leaves.
  • Auxins cause curvature towards light due to differential growth on opposite sides of the stem.
  • Auxins cause cells to grow longer than they would normally be.
  • Plant hormones play important roles in various physiological processes such as growth, development, reproduction, and stress responses.
  • Auxins increase the length of internodes, making plants taller.
  • Phototropism is a response to light where plants grow towards it.
  • Gravitropism is a response to gravity where plants grow upwards or downwards depending on the direction of gravity.
  • Hormonal regulation involves interactions between different types of hormones and their receptors within specific target cells.
  • Ethylene regulates fruit ripening, abscission, and responses to stress.
  • Plant hormones are chemical messengers produced by plants that coordinate various physiological processes such as growth, reproduction, and defense against environmental stresses.
  • Plant hormones play important roles in various physiological processes such as growth, differentiation, reproduction, and response to environmental signals.
  • Plant hormones play important roles in various physiological processes including growth, differentiation, reproduction, and response to environmental stimuli.
  • Plant hormones play important roles in various physiological processes such as growth, differentiation, reproduction, and stress responses.
  • most often associated with the promotion of stem growth, and the application of gibberellin to intact plants can induce large increases in plant height
  • Gibberellins (GA) promote seed germination, flower development, and leaf senescence
  • Cytokinins (CK) regulate cell division and delay aging
  • Auxins (IAA) control apical dominance, phototropism, and root initiation
