  2. Auxin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auxin

    The most important member of the auxin family is indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), [7] which generates the majority of auxin effects in intact plants, and is the most potent native auxin. And as native auxin, its equilibrium is controlled in many ways in plants, from synthesis, through possible conjugation to degradation of its molecules, always ...

  3. Climacteric (botany) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climacteric_(botany)

    Auxin, a plant hormone that allows for cell elongation, is accumulated during the initial growing and developmental phases of the plants life cycle. During ethylene gene induction it was found that auxin related genes (aux/IAA and AUX1) represents the transcription factors that induce 1-MCP.

  4. Indole-3-acetic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indole-3-acetic_acid

    Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA, 3-IAA) is the most common naturally occurring plant hormone of the auxin class. It is the best known of the auxins, and has been the subject of extensive studies by plant physiologists. [1] IAA is a derivative of indole, containing a carboxymethyl substituent. It is a colorless solid that is soluble in polar organic ...

  5. Apical dominance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apical_dominance

    Plant physiologists have identified four different stages the plant goes through after the apex is removed (Stages I-IV). The four stages are referred to as lateral bud formation, "imposition of inhibition" (apical dominance), initiation of lateral bud outgrowth following decapitation, and; elongation and development of the lateral bud into a ...

  6. Food chain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_chain

    Food chain in a Swedish lake. Osprey feed on northern pike, which in turn feed on perch which eat bleak which eat crustaceans.. A food chain is a linear network of links in a food web, often starting with an autotroph (such as grass or algae), also called a producer, and typically ending at an apex predator (such as grizzly bears or killer whales), detritivore (such as earthworms and woodlice ...

  7. Frits Warmolt Went - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frits_Warmolt_Went

    It proposes that auxin, a plant growth hormone, is synthesized in the coleoptile tip, which senses light or gravity and will send the auxin down the appropriate side of the shoot. This causes asymmetric growth of one side of the plant. As a result, the plant shoot will begin to bend toward a light source or toward the surface. [citation needed]

  8. Myco-heterotrophy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myco-heterotrophy

    Monotropa uniflora, an obligate myco-heterotroph known to parasitize fungi belonging to the Russulaceae. [1]Myco-heterotrophy (from Greek μύκης mýkes ' fungus ', ἕτερος héteros ' another ', ' different ' and τροφή trophé ' nutrition ') is a symbiotic relationship between certain kinds of plants and fungi, in which the plant gets all or part of its food from parasitism upon ...

  9. Light-dependent reactions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light-dependent_reactions

    The electron transport chain is NADH dehydrogenase → plastoquinol → b 6 f → cyt c 6 → cyt aa 3 → O 2. where the mobile electron carriers are plastoquinol and cytochrome c 6, while the proton pumps are NADH dehydrogenase, cyt b 6 f and cytochrome aa 3 (member of the COX3 family). Cyanobacteria are the only bacteria that produce oxygen ...
