  2. Auxin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auxin

    Auxin induces shoot apical dominance; the axillary buds are inhibited by auxin, as a high concentration of auxin directly stimulates ethylene synthesis in axillary buds, causing inhibition of their growth and potentiation of apical dominance. When the apex of the plant is removed, the inhibitory effect is removed and the growth of lateral buds ...

  3. Apical dominance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apical_dominance

    The apical bud produces a plant hormone, auxin , that inhibits growth of the lateral buds further down on the stem towards the axillary bud. Auxin is predominantly produced in the growing shoot apex and is transported throughout the plant via the phloem and diffuses into lateral buds which prevents elongation. [2]

  4. Cytokinin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cytokinin

    They are known to regulate axillary bud growth and apical dominance. According to the "direct inhibition hypothesis", these effects result from the ratio of cytokinin to auxin. [citation needed] This theory states that auxin from apical buds travels down shoots to inhibit axillary bud growth. This promotes shoot growth, and restricts lateral ...

  5. Axillary bud - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axillary_bud

    These axillary buds are usually dormant, inhibited by auxin produced by the apical meristem, which is known as apical dominance. If the apical meristem is removed, or has grown a sufficient distance away from an axillary bud, the axillary bud may become activated (or more appropriately freed from hormone inhibition). Like the apical meristem ...

  6. 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 ...

  7. Cholodny–Went model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cholodny–Went_model

    The theory was widely accepted when first proposed, but began to receive serious criticism in the mid-1980s. [6] Arguments against the model have included views that growth regulators other than auxin may be involved, and that there is no difference in the concentration of auxin on the light and shady sides, or not enough difference to explain the difference in growth rates. [7]

  8. 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]

  9. Auxesis (biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auxesis_(biology)

    Auxetic growth occurs in certain tissues, such as muscle, of the higher animals as well as in some organisms, especially eutelic ones, such as nematodes, tunicates, and rotifers. [1] [2] In plant physiology, an auxetic substance will tend to increase cell growth without any cell division. Auxins are auxetic plant hormones.
