Presentation Transcript

  1. Plant Hormones & their Effects AP Biology

  2. Auxin • Found: • Embryo of seed, meristems of apical buds, young leaves • Major Functions - Stimulates stem elongation root growth, cell differentiation, and branching - Regulates development of fruit - Enhances apical dominance - Functions in phototropism and gravitropism

  3. Cytokins Found: - Synthesized in roots and transported to other organs Function: - Affect root growth and differentiation - Stimulate cell division and growth - Delay senescence

  4. Gibberellins Found: - Meristems of apical buds and roots, young leaves, embryo Function: - Promote seed and bud germination, stem elongation, and leaf growth - Stimulate flowering and development of fruit - Affect root growth and differentiation

  5. Abscisic Acid Found: - Leaves, stems, roots, green fruit Function: - Inhibits growth - Closes stomata during water stress - Counteracts breaking of dormancy

  6. Ethylene Found: - Tissues of ripening fruits, nodes of stems, aging leaves and flowers Function: - Promotes fruit ripening, opposes some auxin effects - Promotes or inhibits growth and development of roots, leaves, and flowers, depending on species

  7. Brassinosteroids Found: - Seeds, fruits, shoots, leaves, and floral buds Function: - Inhibits root growth - Slows leaf abscission - Promotes xylem differentiation
