Hormonal (2) Flashcards
Embryo germination
Site of GA production in barley grains
Aleurone Layer
Site of amylase production in barley grains in response to GA
Amylase in barley
Enzyme produced by aleurone layer of barley grain
Herbicides and rooting powders
Practical applications of plant growth substance IAA (Auxin)
Phototropism
Growth of plants towards light due to action of IAA
Long internodes, small yellow leaves
Symptoms of etiolation
Pituitary Gland
Which hormones?
Where growth hormone, ADH and TSH are produced
Human Growth Hormone
Hormone produced by pituitary which stimulates growth
TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone)
Hormne produced by pituitary which increases production of thyroxine
Thyroxine
Hormone which controls metabolic rate
IAA - Other effects
Plant growth substance which is involved in apical dominance, leaf abscission and fruit formation
IAA - effects at shoot tip
Plant growth substance which increases cell division, elongation and differentiation
GA
Plant growth substance which overcomes dormancy of buds and dwarfism in plants
GA in grains
Plant growth substance that is produced by the embryo.
Aleurone layer
In seeds, like barley, it is stimulated, by GA, to produce amylase.
