:: Objectives ::
Todays session, well learn:
N4 Plant growth regulators
(o) (r) Plants have feelings, too!!
What are plant growth regulators
Structure & function of

(GA)
iii) Abscisic acid (ABA)
iv) Others (cytokinin & ethene)

:: um, Pretty Girl Relationships ::

Plants have communication systems, too

Plant nervous system
Plant hormone system

:: um, Pretty Girl Relationships ::

Plants have communication systems, too

Plant nervous system
Plant hormone system

aka plant growth regulators

Secretion
meristem ie. _______
roots & _______
shoots
~ at _________
Direction of transport (_____________)
active transport
~ ______
away from __________

Role(s) in
Plant ~ growth of ______
roots & ______
shoots
~ apical ____________
dominance

ie. if at high [] at apical bud inhibits lateral buds

~ inhibits ________________(ABA)
abscisic acid

:: gibberellins (GA)::

Secretion
~ in ___________
chloroplastof young plants
Direction of transport (_____________)
diffusion

Role(s) in
Plant ~ growth of ______ at _________
~ growth of ______ at stem
_________internode
leaf
lamina
Seed
~ breakdown of ____________
ie. if at high [] in seed breakdown aleurone
layer
endosperm
synthesize amylase breakdown starch glucose

:: abscisic acid (ABA) ::

Abscisic acid (ABA) aka ______stress
PGR
Secretion
~ in ___________ of mature plants
chloroplast
Direction of transport (_____________)

diffusion

Role(s) in
Plant ~ closure of _________
ie. if at high [] in leaf close H + & K+in channels
outside s >> GC s outside << GC
water always go from GC to outside flaccid

stomata

~ leaf ____________

ie. if at high [] in petiole close all transport nutrients

form separation & protective layer (suberin) cut off

abscission
