my way of remembering all hormones
What happens during early embryogenesis (say the general action and then try to go scientifically)
Plant cells develop into different organs-polarity (shoot vs leaf; organ development)-histo-differentiation (different tissue cells develop)Nutrition of the embryo-nutrition provided by the endosperm
What is the endosperm?
Tissue that surrounds the embryo that provides nutrition
What happens during mid embryogenesis/seed development (say the general action and then try to go scientifically)
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”
What happens during fruit develpoment? (say the general action and then try to go scientifically)
Fruit growth
What happens during fruit ripening? (say the general action and then try to go scientifically)
Fruit ripening
What happens during germination? (say the general action and then try to go scientifically)
Embryo emerges from the seed-germinationEmbryo uses stored starch-reserve mobilization
What happens during Triple Response (Phase I) ? (say the general action and then try to go scientifically)
Plant fattens/lateral growth-radial swellingSprout starts bending over-apical hookSprout grows with its tip pointing down at an angle/how ever the hell it wants-agravitropic growth (independent of gravity)
What happens during etiolated growth? (say the general action and then try to go scientifically)
DISCLAIMER: only happens in the darkplant grows really really tall really fast-etiolated growth; cell wall loosening and elongationplants will be white (DO NOT turn green)-Inhibition of plastid differentiation/chloroplast maturation
What happens during de-etiolated growth? (say the general action and then try to go scientifically)
Leaves expandPlant stops growing vertically-stem elongation inhibited;endosperm reserve goes to turning plant greenPlant turns green-chloroplasts develop thylakoid stacksDevelops photosynthesis ability-gene expression for light-dependent processes
What happens during Growth/Tropic Growth? (say the general action and then try to go scientifically)
Plant grows toward light-phototropism (blue light)Plant develops each section of its body-embryonic pattern formation; all parts of the body grows as a whole
What happens during shoot branching/lateral bud growth? (say the general action and then try to go scientifically)
Branches in the plant grow-trade off of effects of hormones to promote and inhibit shoot branching/lateral bud growth
What happens during root branching/lateral bud growth? (say the general action and then try to go scientifically)
Roots branch out in specific sections-interaction between hormones (auxin/cyto) to stop and start root branch growing; some develop in accordance to stress, more stress=less growing
What happens in senescence? (say the general action and then try to go scientifically)
Leaves fall off-leaves transfer nutrients to the shoots then fall off
What happens in stomate control? (say the general action and then try to go scientifically)
Stomatas close-in reaction to stress the stomata close/opening through signaling by hormones
What happnens in flowering? (say the general action and then try to go scientifically)
Regulation of flowering-hormones lead to 2-component regulators that determine when/if plants flower
What hormones are involved in 2-component regulators and in what process?
ethylene –> Triple Responsephytochrome –> FloweringCK
Actions of Abscisic acid (ABA)
seed dormancy (mid embryogenesis)de-etiolation (inhibits BR)closes stomatasenescencecontrols lateral root growth
Actions of Auxin
polarity and cell differentiationstem elongationstops shoot branchingpromotes root branchingphototropismfruit growthopens stomata
Actions of Brassinosteroids (BR)
stem elongation and pollen tubesvascular tissue differentiationbasically only involved in etiolated growth
Actions of Cytokinins (CK)
Embryo nutritionshoot branching (cell division and later growth)Inhibits root branchinginhibits senescenceFruit growth
Actions of Ethylene
Triple ResponseFruit ripeninginhibits all cell growth (and gravitropism)senescence
Actions of Gibberellins (GA)
Embryo nutritionFruit developmentBreaks dormancygermination (mobilizes nutrition)elongated growth (shoot growth)
Jasmonates
defense against pathogens/herbivores
