Q

what is the commercial use of abscissic acid?

A
  • reduces drought stress
17
Q

What happens in stomata closure?

A
  • stomata closes to secure water (transpiration)
  • guard cells turgid - open
    -ABA binds to receptors in guard cell membrane
  • open calcium and potassium channels
    ions diffuse out of guard cells
  • increases water potential of guard cells
    water will leave the guard cell by osmosis - flaccid - stomata closes
18
Q

explain leaf loss by ethene?

A
  • old leaves make ethene
  • causes layer of cells in stalk of leave to expand and break
  • leaf falls
  • water and nutrients
19
Q

Explain seed germination?

A

starch is hydrolysed into glucose in seeds
- glucose is respired (ATP)
- seeds can germinate
