Plant Responses to Internal and External Signals
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Concept 39.2: Plant hormones help coordinate growth, development, and responses to stimuli
• Hormones are chemical signals that coordinate different parts of an organism

The Discovery of Plant Hormones
• Any response resulting in curvature of organs toward or away from a stimulus is called a tropism
• Tropisms are often caused by hormones

A Survey of Plant Hormones
• In general, hormones control plant growth and development by affecting the division, elongation, and differentiation of cells
• Plant hormones are produced in very low concentration, but a minute amount can greatly affect growth and development of a plant organ

Auxin—Made in the shoot tips sent to the roots.
• Stimulate cell elongation in the meristems.
• Auxin stimulates growth in the apical meristems but inhibits growth in the lateral (axillary).
– Remember primary and secondary tumors…
• This is called apical dominance—but when you snip the apical meristems off a plant the lateral buds begin to grow—the auxin is no longer inhibiting the growth of the lateral meristems.

Cytokinins—made in root tips sent to shoots.
• Produced in the growing roots and in developing fruits and seeds.
• Stimulate cell division and interact with auxins to control the growth of the new organ in injured plants and to balance root and shoot growth.

Gibberellins
• Gibberellins have a variety of effects, such as stem elongation, fruit growth, and seed germination

Stem Elongation
• Gibberellins stimulate growth of leaves and stems
• In stems, they stimulate cell elongation and cell division
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Fruit Growth
• In many plants, both auxin and gibberellins must be present for fruit to set
• Gibberellins are used in spraying of Thompson seedless grapes

Abscisic Acid
• Two of the many effects of abscisic acid (ABA):
– Seed dormancy
• Inhibits growth once embryo is fully developed and awaiting environmental cues for completion.
– Drought tolerance (stop growing until resources available)

Drought Tolerance
• ABA is the primary internal signal that enables plants to withstand drought

Ethylene
• Plants produce ethylene in response to stresses such as drought, flooding, mechanical pressure, injury, and infection
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
The Triple Response to Mechanical Stress
• Ethylene induces the triple response, which allows a growing shoot to avoid obstacles
• The triple response consists of a slowing of stem elongation, a thickening of the stem, and horizontal growth

Apoptosis: Programmed Cell Death
• A burst of ethylene is associated with apoptosis, the programmed destruction of cells, organs, or whole plants
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Leaf Abscission
• Ethylene plays a role in causing plants to seal off the base of the structure and drop organs that are no longer needed.
– Example—petals dropping after flowers have been pollinated
– Leaves dropping in autumn
– Fruit dropping after they’ve ripen

Fruit Ripening
• A burst of ethylene production in a fruit triggers the ripening process

TROPISM IN PLANTS
• Growth in response to light, gravity and touch.
– Phototropism
• Growing toward light
– Gravitropism
• Stems grow against gravity, roots with gravity
– Thigmotropism
• Detect and wrap around objects using tendrils
