Term
Phytochromes are ____ _____ ______  with control ______ and _______.  They come in 2 forms ____ and _____.
Definition
Red Light Receptors, germination, flowering, Pr and Pfr
Term
Blue light receptors initiate __________.
Definition
phototropism (response to and growth towards light)
Term
auxin, its affect on stems, roots
Definition
plant growth hormone, stimulates growth in stems, inhibits growth in roots
Term
statoliths
Definition
may be responsible for gravity detection by concentrating auxin on lower sides of tissues in roots or stems.
Term
phototropism
Definition
growth response to light
Term
thigmatropism and 2 examples
Definition
growth response to touch, ivy tendrils, closing of venus fly trap
Term
in___________ response, leaves close due to touch. how does this work?
Definition

thigmatropism

 

leaves transmit electrical impulse which adjusts the turgor pressor in opening/closing mechanism of the leaf

Term
hormones can _______ or _______ depending on the receiving cell
Definition
stimulate or inhibit
Term
__________ can cause cell elongatioin through the ________ ________ ________.
Definition
auxins, acid growth response
Term
acid growth response
Definition
auxin causes cells to pump H+ from cytoplasm into cell wall
2 this lowers pH activating enzymes with break bonds between cell wall fibers
3 cell expands via turgor pressure
Term
synthetic auxins are used as ______ on eudicots. Example.
Definition
herbicides, agent orange.
Term
gibberellins 2 functions
Definition
stimulate cell div/elongation, breaks seed dormancy (speeds germination)
Term
cytokinins 2 functions
Definition
with auxins stimulate cell div
delay death (florists)
Term
ethylene
Definition
only plans hormone that is a gas, promotes ripening (opposite of cytokinins!)
Term
abscisic acid
Definition
promotes abscission in terminal buds
Term
oligosaccharins
Definition
used in defense, sealing off wounded tissue
Term
brassinosterioids
Definition
function similar to auxin and gibberellen
