Auxin (IAA) location |
Location: Shoot apical meristem Young leaves |
|
Auxin function |
Functions: - stimulates stem elongation - Promotes lateral and adventitious root formation - Regulates fruit development - phototropism and gravitrosperm - promotes secondary growth
|
|
Cytokinins location |
Roots |
|
Cytokinins functions |
- regulates cell division and influences pathway of differentiation - control apical dominance = apical bud suppresses development of auxiliary buds - promotes lateral bud growth - stimulate seed germination - delays senescence (death or deterioration of plant parts)
|
|
Gibberellins location |
- apical meristem of roots and buds - young leaves - developing seeds |
|
Gibberellins functions |
Stimulate stem elongation and cell division - pollen development and tube growth - promotes seed development and germination Stimulates flowering and fruits (with auxin) |
|
Abscisic acid location |
All plant cells |
|
Abscisic acid function |
- inhibited growth - controls stomata under water stress - promotes seed dormancy - promotes lead senescence |
|
Ethylene location |
Most plant cells |
|
Ethylene function |
- Triple response of seedlings - slow stem elongation - thickening of stem - horizontal growth of stem - promotes ripening - leaf abscission - senescence |
|
Movement of plants: Tropism |
A directional growth response toward or away from a stimuli
Phototropism : directional growth in response to light - caused by concentration of Auxin on shaded side |
|
Movement in plants: gravitropism |
Directional growth in response to gravity - caused by sedimentation of Statoliths in plant cells |
|
Movement in plants: thigmotropism |
Directional growth in response to touch |
|
Different types of photoreceptors (blue light) |
Initiate phototropism
Opening of stomata
Slowing of seed lead steam after seedling breaks ground |
|
Red phytochrome |
Receptors that absorb mostly red light |
|
De etiolation |
Greening |
|
Seed germination |
Triggering by accumulation of red and far red phytochromes
|
|
Red phytochrome |
Inhibits growth |
|
Far red phytochrome |
Promotes growth |
|
Shade avoidemce |
Pr and Pfr ratio dictate growth |
|
Circadian rhythms |
Around 24hr cycles that are not directly controlled by a known environmental variable |
|
Photoperiodism |
- A physiological response to photoperiod
- flowering (short-day vs. long-day)
- critical night length |
|
Short day plants |
Require light period shorter than some critical period |
|
Long day plants |
Require light period longer than some critical period |
|
Critical night length |
Flowering can be turned on or off by activating the red (Pr) and far red (Pfr) photocrome receptors |
|
Plant response to O2 deprivation |
Formation of aerial root
Death of root cortex cells to create air tubes |
|
Plant response to drought stress |
Reduce transpiration - close stomata - release of absicicalid
Inhibits growth of young leaves - change leaf shape - deeper root growth - drop leaves |
|
Plant response to salt stress |
Salt glands
Production of compatible solutes - maintain water potential |
|
Plant response to heat stress |
Heat shrinks proteins - chaperone proteins |
|
Plant response to cold stress |
Alter lipid concentration of membranes
Change in volume concentration of cytosol
----- protein |
|
Tropism |
A directional growth response toward or away from a stimuli |
|
Phototropsim |
Directional growth in response to light |
|
Phototropsim |
Directional growth in response to light
Caused by concentration of auxin on shaded side |
|
Gravitropism |
Directional growth in response to gravity
Caused by sedimentation of Statoliths in plant cells |
|
Thigmotropism |
Directional growth In response to .. |
|
Antifreeze lrotien |
Absorbed on ice surface inhibits ice crystal growth |
|
Pamps |
Molecular sequences specific to certain pathogens
Effectors act to cripple host plants inmate immune response |
|
