Cards

Term
Auxin(embryogenesis)
Definition

Embryogenesis=Polarity and histodifferentiation

 

Term
Auxin(fruit developoment)
Definition
promotes fruit growth
Term
Auxin Etiolated growth
Definition

Auxin=etiolated growth

interacts positively with BR

Term
Auxin(Growth)
Definition

Promotes elongation and growth response in root meristem through membrane and cytoplasmic receptors

-long term-de-repression with proteasome

Term
Auxin(shoot branching with lateral bud growth)
Definition

inhibits branching at root/shoot. Auxin produced in shoots, transported to roots

-ck/auxin control organogenosis and lateral bud growth

Term
Auxin(Root branching/lateral bud growth)
Definition

-Promotes branching

-cytokinin produced in roots, transported to shoots

Term
Auxin(stomatal control)
Definition
opens stomata
Term
cytokinin(embryogenesis)
Definition
-provides nutrition for embryo
Term
cytokinin(fruit development)
Definition
Promotes fruit growth
Term
cytokinin(Shoot branching/lateral bud growth)
Definition
promotes shoot braching
Term
cytokinin(root branching/lateral bud growth)
Definition
inhibits root branching with 2 component receptor:signal kinase and response regulator
Term
gibberellin(embryogenesis)
Definition
nutrition of embryo
Term
GA(fruit development)
Definition
promotes fruit growth
Term
GA(seed germination)
Definition

Germination reserve mobilization by synthesis of amylase

Signaling cells have receptors on plasma membrane and nucleus

Ca2+ and cGMP signaling pathways, derepression with proteasome

Term
GA(De etiolation)
Definition
GA interacts positively with BR which promotes etiolated growth
Term
GA(growth)
Definition
promotes elongation
Term
cytokinin(senescence)
Definition
inhibits senescence
Term
ABA(seed development)
Definition

-reserve accumulation

promotes dormancy and dessication tolerance

Term
ABA(seed germionation)
Definition

inhibits seed germination

GA antagonist

Term
ABA(de etiolated growth)
Definition

BR antagonist

-promotes de-etiolated growth

Term
ABA(growth)
Definition
inhibits elongation
Term
ABA(senescence)
Definition
promotes senescence
Term
ABA(stomal control)
Definition

closes stomata by signalling membrane bound and cytoplasmic receptors

-G protein is 2ndary messenger

-de-repression

Term
ethylene(fruit development)
Definition
promotes fruit ripening
Term
Ethylene(triple response response)
Definition

-deposition to increase width

-apical hook

-agravotropic growth

Radical swelling=alters cellulose microfibril to vertical orientation so cell width increases

Term
Ethylene(triple response mechanism)
Definition

2 component production of ethylene induced by pressure

-autocatalytic,inhibited by light

2 receptors in ER-sensor kinase/response regulator

-de-repression

Term
ehtylene(growth)
Definition
inhibits elongation
Term
ethylene(senescence)
Definition
promotes senescence
Term

Seed development in angiosperms

Definition

depends on cytokinins and gibberellins to stimulate celldivision and growth early in

embryogenesis

Term

"C4" plants and the Crassulaceae carrying out acid metabolism ("CAM plants") differ in that

Definition

 only CAM plants store 4 carbon acids in their vacuoles

Term

Chemiosmotic mechanisms

Definition

use the potential energy of a H+ gradient to drive energy requiring processes

-drive ATP synthesis in both chloroplasts and mitochondria

-drive sucrose uptake in phloem loading

-contribute to polar transport of auxins
