Plant Growth Hormones by Mousumi

Uploaded by

Plant hormones are chemical signals produced within plants that regulate growth. The main plant hormones are auxins, gibberellins, cytokinins, ethylene, and abscisic acid. Auxins promote cell elongation and root formation. Gibberellins stimulate seed germination, cell division and elongation. Cytokinins promote cell division and delay leaf senescence. Ethylene regulates fruit ripening and leaf/flower senescence. Abscisic acid responds to stress and inhibits seed germination.

Plant Hormones
2

Chemical that regulate plant growth

Signal molecules produced within the plant, and


occur in extremely low concentration.

Chemical messengers that affect a plants ability to


respond to its enviornment
General Plant Hormones
3

There are some plant hormones which are described


below:
Auxins
Gibberllins
Cytokinins
Ethylene
Abscisc acid
Classifications
4
Auxins
5

First of the major plant hormones to be discovered.

Indole-3-acetic acid(IAA) is the most common,


naturally-occurring, plant hormone of the auxin
class.

Frits Went (1926) determined auxin enhanced cell


elongation and stem elongation.
Functions Of Auxins
6
Auxins also influenecs
root formations.

Retards leaf abscission.

Promotes fruit growth.

Responsible for apical


dominance and
phototropism.
Cytokinins
7

Produced in primarily root tips.

Cytokinins have some known actions in the process of :

• Cell division

• Tissue culture

• Delay leaf senescence


Cytokinin dealays leaf senescence
8
Genetic modification to
increaser cytokinin
biosynthesis
Gibberellin
9

Produce in young, developing shoots and seeds.

Gibberellin have some known actions in development


of:
• Cell division
• Cell elongation
• Stimulate seed germinatin
• Stimulate fruit development
• Stimulate flowering
Gibberellin
10
Ethylene
11

Produced in most tissues under stress, senescence,


or ripening
Ethylene have some known actions in the development
of :
• Fruit ripening

• Leaf and flower senescence

• Leaf and fruit abscission(controlled separation of


plant part from the main body)
Ethylene
12
Abscisic Acid
13

Abscisic acid produce in:


Mature leaves, especially under stress

Abscisic acid have some known actions that is:


• Stress response
• Stimulate stomatal closure
• Inhibit premature germination of seeds
• Seed dormancy maintenance
