Simple plant hormone table with location of synthesis and effects of application — this is the format used in the description templates at bottom of Wikipedia articles about plant hormones. Hormonal Regulation of Gene Expression and Development — Detailed introduction to plant hormones, including genetic information.
While cytokinin action in vascular plants is described as pleiotropic, this class of plant hormones specifically induces the transition from apical growth to growth via a three-faced apical cell in moss protonema. This bud induction can be pinpointed to differentiation of a specific single cell, and thus is a very specific effect of cytokinin. [18]
Auxins (plural of auxin / ˈ ɔː k s ɪ n /) are a class of plant hormones (or plant-growth regulators) with some morphogen-like characteristics.Auxins play a cardinal role in coordination of many growth and behavioral processes in plant life cycles and are essential for plant body development.
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 ...
Plant hormones, which are secondary metabolites, are often used to regulate the metabolic activity within cells and oversee the overall development of the plant. As mentioned above in the History tab, secondary plant metabolites help the plant maintain an intricate balance with the environment, often adapting to match the environmental needs.
Florigens (or flowering hormone) are proteins capable of inducing flowering time in angiosperms. [1] The prototypical florigen is encoded by the FT gene and its orthologs in Arabidopsis and other plants. [ 2 ]
The green Mediterranean diet is a more plant-centric version of the traditional Mediterranean diet, enriched with higher polyphenol content. Recent research indicates that both diets may help ...
Gibberellins (GAs) are plant hormones that regulate various developmental processes, including stem elongation, germination, dormancy, flowering, flower development, and leaf and fruit senescence. [1] They are one of the longest-known classes of plant hormone.
