Q

What happens during mid embryogenesis/seed development (say the general action and then try to go scientifically)

A

Embryo stops growing-Embryo maturity (due to allowing it to go through dormancy)Stores nutrients-Starch reserve accumulationSeed dries out to keep embryo at a specific size-seed dormancyHormones make sure endosperm has a large enough storage of starch/nutrients-“desiccation tolerance”

A

Random other hormone that inhibits shoot branching

35
Q

A

1) Ethylene - Radial swelling - apical hook - agravitropic growth

39
Q

Describe the hormone response process in etiolated growth

A

1) Brassinosteroid (BR) - promotes cell elongation (shoot) - inhibits chloroplast maturation2) Auxin and GA are complement hormones to this process

40
Q

Describe the hormone response process in De-etiolated growth

A

1) ABA-expands leaves- inhibits BR; uses endosperm reserves to “green” the plant-develop chloroplasts (thylakoids)-grants ability for light-dependent reactions

41
Q

A

1) Auxin-elongation with phototropism-forms differentiated body patterns/organs2) ABA - stops growing3) Ethylene - stops growing

42
Q

Describe the hormone response process in shoot branching/lateral bud growth

A

1) Auxin - first keeps shoot branching inhibited (“energy to grow upward”)2) Cytokinin promotes shoot branching3)Strigo-lactones stop shoot branching

43
Q

Describe the hormone response process in root branching/lateral bud growth

A

1) Auxin - starts with growing root branching2) CK - stops branching3) ABA - controls root elongation in reference to stress (mild = grow ; severe = no elongation)

44
Q

Describe the hormone response process in senescence

A

1) CK- keeps leaves from falling off2) Ethylene - makes leaves fall off3) ABA - makes leaves fall off

45
Q

Describe the hormone response process in Stomtate control

A

ethylene gas

55
Q

Describe GA’s process of mobilizing embryo reserves for germination

A

1) GA signals aleurone (receptors on the cell surface & nucleus)2) 2nd messengers create 2 pathways: Ca2+ and cGMP3) synthesizes amylase and sends it to endosperm to absorb starch4) hydrolizes starch to GLC5)GLC absorbed by embryo for growth

56

Q

What is acid growth and describe the mech for it

A

wall loosening1) proton pump creats a pH gradient 2) gradient creates a cell ANION trap(regular Auxin is neutral in cell wall then H+ pumps make it acidic in the cell to loosen it ph=4)

68
Q

Mech for shoot branching/lateral bud growth

A

Auxin is produced in the shoot and transported to the rootsInterchange of Aux and CK/Strigo-lactones in growing branches

CK produced in roots transports to shootsExchange of Aux a and CK /ABA in branching rootsABA response to stress in growing root branches
