Topics in Chemical Coordination in Plants

1

Plant Growth Regulators (Phytohormones) - Overview

  • Plant hormones are organic substances produced in one part and act in another part of the plant
  • They are transported mainly through phloem tissue
  • Two main categories: Growth Promoters and Growth Inhibitors
2

Auxins - The Growth Hormone

  • First discovered plant hormone
  • Produced in growing tips of stem and root
  • IAA (Indole Acetic Acid) is the most abundant natural auxin
3

Gibberellins - The Elongation Hormone

  • More than 100 types of gibberellic acids known
  • Produced in young leaves, plastids of immature seeds, and roots
  • Cause elongation of internodes
4

Cytokinins - The Division Hormone

  • Produced in meristems (actively dividing tissues)
  • Promote cell division and enlargement
  • Delay senescence (aging)
