plant hormones Flashcards
Gibberellins
UP - seed germination: amylase -> glucose -> ATP; cell division/elongation; cell wall synthesis
Auxin
e.g. IAA: cell division, cell elongation, primary (vertical) growth =apical dominance
Cytokinins
cell division, coordinating root/shoot growth; fruit production; secondary (lateral) growth, branching
Ethylene
stimulates maturation, senescence; leaf abscission
Abscissic Acid
inhibits growth; stomatal closure; promotes abscission; initiates dormancy
plant hormones are carried in the…
xylem & phloem
allelopathic effect
VOCs released from one plant causes other plants to then protect selves
how does H2O trigger plant germination?
-> Gibberellic acid -> DNA -> starch -> sugar -> growth
