  1. Chap 5. Differentiation and Development General Information Plant Growth Hormones Vegetative Physiology Reproductive Physiology

  2. 1. Process of Differentiation Differential growth in cell and tissues: • Orderly and systematic in mitotic cell division • Genetically controlled development • by gene activation and deactivation • Also influenced by external environment • Tissue and organ differentiation controlled by plant growth hormones that are produced indifferent parts of plants

  3. Influence of IBA Treatment on Root Formation Jojoba Peach Ficus Cuttings treated with IBA: 1-control, 2-50% ethanol, 3-1000 ppm IBA, 4-2000 ppm IBA, 5-4000 ppm IBA

  4. Enhancement of Seed Germination by GA Treatment Penstemon parryi Seeds of Desert Beard Tongue (Penstemon parryi) is difficult to germinate due to seed dormancy (see 1 above). Treatment of seed with 200 ppm GA3 for 24 hours leads to 95% germination (see 2 above).

  5. Seed treatment with GA3 often ends up with elongated seedlings: control (left), GA3 treated (right)

  6. Use of Plant Hormones in Tissue Culture Cytokinin- Stimulates shoot differentiation Auxin- Stimulates callus and root formation

  7. Leaf disc culture of Salpiglossis

  8. Influence of cytokinin and auxin on differentiation of callus tissues in Salpiglossis

  9. Callus proliferation and root production occur under a combination of low cytokinin and high auxin concentrations in the medium

  10. Shoot differentiation occurs under a combinationof high cytokinin and low auxin levels in the medium

  11. Shoots differentiated from callus are divided and rooted for use in clonal propagation

  12. Flowering Salpiglossis plants which have been cloned from leaf disc cultures

  13. Use of Ethylene Gas • Ripening of fruits • Conversion of flower sex expression • Flower induction in pineapple and bromeliad • Improvement of bean sprout quality • Pre-harvest defoliation in cotton and potato • Enhancement of seed germination in selected species

  14. B A Responses of cut snapdragon flowers exposed to ethylene source for one night: A-flower stem placed in a plastic bag (control), B-flower stem placed in a plastic bag containing two apples.

  15. Fruit Ripening - Chemical: Ethephon (ethylene) - Ripening of green banana, tomatoes

  16. D. Flower Induction - ‘Florigin’- an elusive chemical - Use auxin and ethephon (ethylene) - Flower induction in pineapple and bromeliads Silver Vase Silver Vase Pineapple Ethephon is applied to young plants of pineapple and bromeliads to induce flowering

  17. Fruit Ripening in Gas Chambers, SuperValu, Fargo

  18. Conversion of Flower Sex Expression in Cucurbits - Gibberellins (GA3) promote maleness - Ethylene promotes femaleness

  19. Conversion of Flower Sex in Muskmelon B A C D A-First flower flowers induced by ethylene are female flowers; B-a close-up of pistillate flower induced by ethylene; C-ovaries of pistillate and hermaphroditic flowers induced by ethylene (left) and hermaphroditic and male flowers of control plants (right); D-vines showing pistillate and hermaphroditic flowers only on a treated plant.

  20. Ethephon application converts male flowersto female flowers in muskmelon

  21. An example of flower sex expression in a muskmelonplant after treatment with ethephon

  22. Muskmelon fruits developed from ethephon-induced female flowers are often elongated: top row (control), bottom row (ethephon-treated)

  23. Easter lily plants grown in greenhouse often show elongated stems which makes boxing for mass market distribution difficult

  24. Some Chemical Growth Retardants

  25. Easter Lily Height Control by Sumagic

  26. Influence of DIFDifference between Day and Night Temperatures Positive DIF – Plants become tall Negative DIF – Plants become short

  27. Plant height control on Liatrus (gay feather) by growth retardant application (left-treated, right-control)

  28. MetaxeniaInfluence of Pollination on Fruit Set

  29. Influence of Pollination onStrawberry Fruit Development
