Plant hormones

Plant hormones are specialized chemical substances produced by plants. They are the main internal factors controlling growth and development. Hormones are produced in one part of a plant and transported to others, where they are effective in very small amounts. Depending on the target tissue, a given hormone may have different effects. Plant hormones play an integral role in controlling the growth and development of plants. A plant hormone is generally described as an organic compound synthesized

Hormones are a type of cell signaling used for long distance communication between cells. Only target cells have the ability to respond to particularly hormones. In plants, hormones will typically travel by vessels, diffusion across the cell, or in the air. Auxins is one of the five major classes of plant hormones. The functions of auxins include elongation of the stem, as well as promoting root growth, and another function includes acting in phototropism and gravitropism. Phototropism is essentially

The article explores the possibility of plants that we consume such as vegetables, fruits or other edible plants, containing remaining hormones that may have both positive and negative impacts on our health. Recent studies have indicated that there may be a connection between our gut microbes stimulating the creation of molecules in response to the remnants of hormones in plant matter. Positive impacts look at ABA-rich foods as a way to protect against and fight off cancers cells, and also to regulate

for the study. All six plates were in the same location, had the same agar, sunlight access, and elevation. All six plates were arranged for the experiment in the same method; the plates were prepared under an uncontaminated hood, 10 seeds of each plant were placed gently on the agar on separate spots, the same amount of overall liquid was given to the plates, and they were all sealed and labeled for transportation. The six plots were individually given a treatment. Two of the plates were treated

Introduction Hormones are fundamental to the growth of an organism. Hormones are the chemical substances that travel to various targets within an organism in order to start a cellular response. Hormones are used for different aspects of growth. For example, gibberellins impact stem elongation in plants. Auxin, another plant hormone, softens and increase plasticity of the cell walls, which aides in the growth of the plant’s size and shape (Georgia State’s Department of Biological Sciences, 2015)

Plant hormones otherwise known as phytohormones are chemical substances synthesized within the cell for use in regulation, cell to cell communication, and growth and development of the plant. These hormones are usually transported to a different cell to elicit a response. However, there are some which are able to act within the cell in which they were synthesized. They are synthesized in low concentrations and they are small in size for ease of transportation through the cell wall. The location at

and Rosette Brassica rapa Plants Intro This experiment was performed to test two hypotheses concerning the plant hormone gibberellic acid and a mutant rosette shaped phenotype of the plant Brassica rapa. This experiment was done in order to test the effects o gibberellic acid on plants and its effect on rosette shaped complexes. The two hypotheses in this experiment are as follows: Hypothesis number one states that Gibberellic acid allows for stem elongation in plants. Hypothesis number two. The

Northward into Mexico (Alagesaboopathi, 2000). It is an annual plant which grows to the height of 1 – 3 ft. It is one of the most widespread plants used in the Unani and Ayurvedic traditional medicines. It is an erect and branched plant with lanceolate green leaves (Rammohan, 2009) 2.2. DISTRIBUTION OF ANDROGRAPHIS PLANT A. paniculata consists of 28 species of small shrubs essentially distributed in tropical Asia (Alagesaboopathi 2000). The plant is distributed numerously in South eastern Asia-India, Sri

provide good quality food for the consumers. This is where the technology of plant tissue culture steps in. As Lineberger (n.d) mentions, plant tissue culture can contributes to the agriculture industry in the future and give advantageous to the growers because the mass production of plant and crops can be produced in a short period of time using the tissue collected from single parent plant. He also include that the plant can be maintained and monitored in the regulated environment like greenhouse

rain. My Ficus awakes from the sun’s scream. Watering is our daily ritual but it wasn’t always this way. When I first discovered my Ficus, I had no clue how to care for it. I researched specific care for a Ficus and discovered many types of this plant. Eventually, I came across photos of Ficus elastica and realized this is the type. Home Depot provided me with instructions but their advice was dead wrong. My Ficus was dying fast. Thankfully, I studied the history of Ficus elastica - I didn’t
