Chapter 27: Control Of Growth And Response In Plants Flashcards
stimulus from one direction
Result in uneven growth
Tropisms
Results in growth
Positive tropism
Toward stimulus
Negative tropism
Away from stimulus (sun)
Mechanism:
Reception- transduction - response
Phototropism
Light reaction by buds or stem
Pigment
Photoreceptor
Hormone auxin
Redistributed to shaded side of shoot, causes uneven growth
Geotropism (gravitropism)
Response to gravity
Shoots grow up
Negative geotropism
Roots grows down
Positive geotropism
Root cap contains
Statolith
Amyloplast settles to bottom of cell, then…
ER to realeae ca2+ —> auxin release and stimulates growth
Auxin:
Inhibits root cells -> growth top- downward movemet
Stimulates stem cells-> growth bottom- upward movement
Shoots that grow horizontal
Auxin moves to lower side causing elongation (stolons, strawberries)
