PLANT HORMONESPROMOTE CELL DIVISION: CYTOKININS

WHERE IT PRODUCED ?
Cytokinin are synthesized primarily in actively growing tissues, particular in roots, embryos and fruits and transported to other organs, although there are many minor sites of production as well.
Cytokinin produced in the root reach to their target tissues by moving up the plant in the xylem sap.

HOW IT CONTROL CELL DIVISION
Cytokinin will stimulate cell division and influenced the pathway of differentiation when acting with auxin hormone.
In some experiment, a piece of parenchyma tissue from stem is cultured. This is some observation of the effect on cytokinin in cell tissue

HOW IT CONTROL CELL DIVISION
The ratio of cytokinins to auxin controls the cell differentiate.
When the concentration of these 2 hormone are at certain level, the mass of cell continues to grow, but remains undifferentiated called a callus.
Cytokinin level increase Auxin level increase
Shoot buds develop from callus
Root form

FUNCTION OF CYTOKININ
Stimulates cell division.
Stimulates morphogenesis
(shoot initiation/bud formation) in
tissue culture.
Stimulates the growth of
lateral buds-release of apical
dominance.
Stimulates leaf expansion
resulting from cell
enlargement.
Cytokinins can slow down the aging of some plant organs.
Slow deterioration of leaves on intact
plant.
A list of some of the known physiological effects caused by cytokinins are listed
below

STIMULATES ABSCISION & THE REPENING OF FRUIT : ETHYLENE
![Page 8: Plant hormones](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062303/55532ec4b4c905e12e8b48d4/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
WHERE IT PRODUCED?
Ethylene is the gaseous hormone that can be produced by most all part of the plant.
It produced in high concentrations during senescence, leaf abscission, and the ripening of some type of fruits.
This hormone synthesis is also stimulated by wounding & stress (drought, flooding, mechanical pressure, injury, & infection).
![Page 9: Plant hormones](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062303/55532ec4b4c905e12e8b48d4/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
The triple response to mechanical stress
Triple response is occur when ethylene initiate a
seedling to perform a growth maneuver
In the triple response, stem elongation is slow,
the stem thicken & curvature causesthe stem
to start growing horizontally
It induced by mechanical stress on the stem tip
senescene
Senescence is natural process aging in plants
Ethylene play importance role e.g shedding of a leaf in autumn, withering of flower, & death of an annual after
flowering
Apoptosis = the onset of programmed cell death,During apoptosis , newly
formed enzyme breakdown chemical compound

Leaf abscission
The process of abscission occurs in autumn when a leaf falls
A change in the ratio of ethylene to auxin controls
abscission.
An aging leaf produces less & less auxin and this make the cell of the abscisssion
layer more sensitive to ethylene

Promotes bud & seed dormancy abscisic

Where it produced?
Almost plant has ability to synthesize ABA.
It presence has been detected in every major organ & living tissue and may be transported in the phloem/xylem
![Page 13: Plant hormones](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062303/55532ec4b4c905e12e8b48d4/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
ABSCISIC ACID (ABA)
ABA is one of the hormone plant. Also called as abscisic II & dormin
Function: inhibit growth, promote seed dormancy & inhibit early germination,
promote stomatal closure during drought stress.
ABA inhibits stem elongation probably by its inhibitory effect on gibberellic acid
ABA also promotes abscission of leaves and fruits
![Page 14: Plant hormones](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062303/55532ec4b4c905e12e8b48d4/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
EFFECT OF ABSCISIC ACID SEED DORMANCY
• One of major affect of ABA is seed dormancy. Seed dormancy has great survival value because it ensure that seed will germinate only when there are optimal conditions of light, temperature, & moisture.
• Many types of dormant seed germinate when ABA is remove or inactive.
DROUGHT TOLERANCE
• ABA is the primary internal signal- That enables plants
to withstand drought - signaling turns on the
expression of genes encoding proteins that protect cells — in seeds as well as in vegetative tissues — from damage when they become dehydrated

a) ABA in roots that elongate the root
for water absorption
b) ABA in the stem that allow the stem to elongate to get sufficient light
