Major signals that control plant growth and development
• Internal signals: Plant Hormones
- AUXIN
- CYTOKININ
- ETHYLENE
- ABSCISIC ACID
- GIBBERELLIC ACID

Auxin
Note: several different auxins are known to date (natural as well as synthetic). IAA is the most common natural auxin found in plants.
![Page 6: Signaling](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062723/56813d1f550346895da6dda1/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Auxin effects
- promotes cell elongation
- inhibits lateral meristem activity
- promotes root formation
![Page 7: Signaling](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062723/56813d1f550346895da6dda1/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Auxin and differential growth:Gravitropic growth responses of Arabidopsis seedlings
Hypocotyl (embryonic stem)
Cotyledons(embryonic leaves)
Root
Turn seedling 90o
Root shows a positive gravitropic response
Hypocotyl shows a negative gravitropic response
Areas of differential growth (one side grows faster than the other)

Differential growth
Rate of cell elongation is higher on the a-side of the coleoptile compared to the b-side. This leads to differential growth: increased growth rate on one side of plant organ, results in curvature of the organ.

Auxin and shoot apical dominance• Decapitation of the apical bud releases the lateral buds. In the
absence of auxin coming from the shoot apex, lateral buds become active leading to branching (and a more bushy shoot development)
![Page 10: Signaling](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062723/56813d1f550346895da6dda1/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Example: Auxin and lateral root formation in Arabidopsis
The synthetic auxin 2,4-D promotes lateral root formation in Arabidopsis
Note: 2,4-D is also used as a herbicide because it completely inhibits growth at higher concentrations.

Example: Auxin promotes adventitious root formation from Ilex opaca (Holly) shoots.
Shoots form roots at their bases faster when the bases are treated with auxin. The ends of these shoots were dipped for 5 seconds in solutions containing (from left to right) 0%, 0.1% and 0.5% auxin. They were then rooted in moist vermiculite for 2 weeks.

Cytokinin
Zeatin
Zeatin is one of many natural cytokinins found in plants
![Page 13: Signaling](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062723/56813d1f550346895da6dda1/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Cytokinin effects
- promotes cell division/shoot formation
- promotes lateral meristem activity
- controls sink/source identity of plant organs
- delays senescence
![Page 14: Signaling](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062723/56813d1f550346895da6dda1/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Cytokinin and shoot apical dominance• By increasing the cytokinin concentration in the shoot, lateral buds
become active resulting in increased branching (and a more bushy shoot development)

The effect of cytokinin on senescence.
Cytokinin applied to the right-hand primary leaf of this bean seedling inhibited its senescence. The left-hand did not get cytokinin.

Gibberellin
Note: several different gibberellins are known to date (natural as well as synthetic). GA3 is the most common natural gibberellin found in plants.
Gibberellic acid 3

Gibberellin effects
- promotes stem elongation growth

Gibberellins and world food production
– Norman Borlaug– Nobel Peace Prize 1970– Developed high-yielding wheat
strains• Disadvantages
– Strains require high levels of fertilizer (containing N, see lecture on absorption and transport of minerals)
» Expensive (requires fossil fuels)
» Create pollution

Coordination of Development via Hormone action
• The major plant hormones:
- Auxins
- Cytokinins
- Gibberellins
- Abscisic acid
- EthyleneSurvival hormones (tend to inhibit growth)
Hormones that promote/control growth (direction)
![Page 22: Signaling](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062723/56813d1f550346895da6dda1/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Ethylene
![Page 23: Signaling](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062723/56813d1f550346895da6dda1/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Ethylene effects
- inhibits cell expansion
- accelerates senescence
- accelerates fruit ripening
![Page 24: Signaling](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062723/56813d1f550346895da6dda1/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Ethylene effects on etiolated seedlings
Arabidopsis seedlings grown in the dark display an etiolated growth pattern:
1) unexpanded cotyledons
2) Apical hook
3) long thin hypocotyl
Exposure to ethylene during growth in the dark results in:
1) Exagerated apical hook
curvature
2) Much shorter and
thicker hypocotyl
![Page 25: Signaling](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062723/56813d1f550346895da6dda1/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Ethylene and senescence
Solution that contains STS, an inhibitor of ethylene action. STS delays floral senescence.
![Page 26: Signaling](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062723/56813d1f550346895da6dda1/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Ethylene and fruit ripening– Ripening of fruit stimulated by ethylene– Ethylene is THE most damaging hormone in
agriculture (accelerates ripening and consequently rotting of fruits)
– Involves• Conversion of starch or organic acids to sugars• Softening of cell walls to form a fleshy fruit• Rupturing of cell membrane with resulting loss
of cell fluid to form dry fruit
– Overripe fruit is potent source of ethylene• Promotes ripening of adjacent fruits
![Page 27: Signaling](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062723/56813d1f550346895da6dda1/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Abscisic acid
![Page 28: Signaling](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062723/56813d1f550346895da6dda1/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Abscisic acid effects
- promotes stomatal closure
- inhibits seed germination
![Page 29: Signaling](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062723/56813d1f550346895da6dda1/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Abscisic Acid and drought stress
Abscisic acid is a signal of this emergency situation. Under drought conditions, wilted mesophyll cells of a leaf rapidly synthesize and excrete abscisic acid (ABA). This ABA diffuses to the guard cells, where an ABA receptor recognizes the presence of the hormone and acts to release K+, Cl-, and as a result H2O, thus rapidly reducing turgor pressure and closing the stomata
![Page 30: Signaling](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062723/56813d1f550346895da6dda1/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Abscisic Acid and germination
Wild type (normal)Corn seeds attached . Majority of seeds are dormant: they contain ABA that prevents germination.
ABA insensitive corn. Majority of seeds are already germinating while still attached to the parent plant because of a defect in ABA sensitivity.
