Mechanism of plant growth

• Part of meristem that is responsible for primary growth

  Apical Meristem
• Part of meristem that is responsible for secondary plant growth

  Lateral meristem
• This means growth in relation to gravity

  Gravitropism/Geotropism
• This hormones is responsible for much of a plant "sense of direction"

  Auxin
• This hormone is responsible for most of the growth in a plant including the lengtheningvand differentiation of cells from the meristem

  Auxin
• Name the hormone:

  Auxin

  
• What type of geotropism is shown: positive geotropism

  
• What type of geotropism is shown

  Negative geotropism

  
• This means growth in realation to plant. A plants ability to sense and grow towards or away from light

  Phototropism
• This hormone regulates the cytokinesis (part of cell division)

  Cytokinin
• This hormone regulates senescence or plant tissue aging

  Cytokinin
• This hormone regulates how cells differentiate from the meristem

  Cytokinin
• Name the hormone

  Cytokinin

  
• This hormone regulate the reproductive parts of a plant

  Gibberellins
• This hormones what causes flowers to mature, stimulates pollinated flower to turn into fruit, and causes seed to mature.

  Gibberellins
• Name the hormone

  Gibberellin

  
• Preventing the normal activity of this hormone can cause a fruit to be "seedless"

  Gibberellin
• Farmers use this hormone as a spray for their crops to grow bigger

  Gibberellin
• This type of hormone accumulates when the plant is exposed to stressful conditions

  Abscisic acid
• Name the hormone

  Abscisic acid
