Plant Hormones and Plant Tropisms

Plant Hormones
Remember that hormones are signals that can travel long distances to affect the actions of another cell.
Examples include abscisic acid, auxin, cytokinins, ethylene, and gibberellins.

Abscisic acid:-"babysitter hormone"
-makes sure seeds do not germinate too early -inhibits cell growth
-stimulates closing of the stomata (prevents water loss)

Auxin
elongation of stems
plays a role in phototropism and gravitropism

Cytokinins
promote cell division and leaf enlargement
slow down aging of leaves
used by supermarkets to keep veggies fresh

Ethylene
initiates fruit ripening
causes flowers and leaves to drop from trees

Gibberellins
stem elongation
growth (dormant seeds, buds, and flowers)

Plant TropismsTropism: growth that occurs in response to an environmental
stimulus such as sunlight or gravity

Gravitropism
plants response to gravitational force
stems grow up and roots grow down
auxin and gibberellins play a role
![Page 10: Plant Hormones and Plant Tropisms - Polk School District...Plant Tropisms Tropism: growth that occurs in response to an environmental stimulus such as sunlight or gravity Gravitropism](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022050422/5f9173143d58ac16da6b9d53/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Phototropism
a plant's response to light
auxin is in charge
when light is received on all sides, auxin is distributed evenly and growth is even
when 1/2 of plant is in the sun, auxin focuses on the darker side which leads to unequal growth of the stem (side with less light grows faster causing movement of plant toward the light source)

Photoperiodism
![Page 12: Plant Hormones and Plant Tropisms - Polk School District...Plant Tropisms Tropism: growth that occurs in response to an environmental stimulus such as sunlight or gravity Gravitropism](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022050422/5f9173143d58ac16da6b9d53/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Circadian Rhythm
Plants have a biological clock that maintain a circadian rhythm: a physiological cycle that occurs in time increments that are roughly equivalent to the length of of a day.
![Page 13: Plant Hormones and Plant Tropisms - Polk School District...Plant Tropisms Tropism: growth that occurs in response to an environmental stimulus such as sunlight or gravity Gravitropism](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022050422/5f9173143d58ac16da6b9d53/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Photoperiodism is the response by a plant to the change in the length of days.
Hormones such as florigen and phyotchrome help flowers bloom at the appropriate times.

Short-Day Plants
Example : Poinsettias
Flowering requirements: exposure longer night hours
Have flowers from the end of summer to end of winter

Long-day Plants
Ex: Spinach
Flowering requirements--must be expose to a night shorter than day

Thigmotropism
a plant's response to touch or contact
ex: vines that wind around objects as they grow
