Topics in Chemical Coordination in Plants

1

Plant Growth Regulators

  • Plant growth regulators are also called plant hormones or phytohormones.
  • They are organic substances produced in one part of the plant body and act in another part.
  • They are mainly transported through phloem.
2

Auxins

  • Auxins were the first plant hormones to be discovered.
  • Auxins are produced by growing tips of stem and root.
  • Indole acetic acid is the most abundant and powerful naturally occurring auxin.
3

Gibberellins

  • More than 100 types of gibberellic acids are known.
  • Gibberellins are produced in young leaves, plastids of immature seeds, or even roots.
  • Gibberellins cause elongation of internodes.
4

Cytokinins

  • Cytokinin is produced in meristems.
  • It promotes cell division and cell enlargement.
  • It delays senescence, which means ageing of plants.
