Term
what is a hormone
Definition
a chemical substance which is produced in one set of cells, transported and produces a response in another set of cells

only a minute quantity is required to produce a response
Term
Auxins were first identified by
Definition
Charles Darwin
Term
Naturally occuring auxins
Definition
IAA, 4-chlorol IAA, PAA, IBA
Term
IAA full name, synthesized from
Definition
indole acetic acid

the best known naturally occuring auxin

primarily synthesized from tryptophan (an amino acid)
Term
4-chlorol IAA full name
Definition
4-chlorol indole acetic acid
Term
PAA full name is
Definition
phenylacetic acid
Term
IBA full name is
Definition
indolebutyric acid
Term
the two synthetically synthesized auxins are...
Definition
NAA
2,4-D
Term
NAA is a..., and its full name
Definition
a synthetically synthesized auxin

naphtaleneacetic acid
Term
2,4-D is a... and its full name
Definition
a synthetically synthesized auxin

2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid

roundup
Term
auxin synthesis areas
Definition
seeds, young leaves, flushing buds

seeds generate auxins, auxins generate fruit
Term
auxin transport method
Definition
- auxin transport is basipetal, from terminal bud to base

- acropetal in leaves, from node to tip
Term
auxins trigger...
Definition
stimulation of:
cell elongation
differentiation of vascular tissues
cambial activity
ethylene synthesis
apical dominance signalling
tropism (gravitropism, phototropism)
Term
cytokinins were oringinally isolated when and from what
Definition
in the 1960's from adenine
Term
the two naturally occuring cytokinins are
Definition
N6 adenine derivatives phenyl urea compounds
Zeatin (the most common form)
Term
cytokinins were oringinally isolated when and from what?
Definition
in the 1960's from adenine
Term
the synthetic cytokinins are (3)
Definition
kinetin
BAP ( 6 benzylaminopurine)
isopentenyl adenine
Term
cytokinins area of synthesis
Definition
mainly the roots

also in seeds, fruits, and young leaves
Term
cytokinin transport is through
Definition
the xylem, and is non-polar,
Term
cytokinins trigger...
Definition
stimulate:

cell division
shoot formation
delay senescence in leaves
release lateral buds from apical domincance
Term
Ethylene is a... isolated from...
Definition
a gas (C2H4) synthesized from amino acid
Term
ethylene area of synthesis
Definition
various cells and tissues undergoing senescence (getting old) and under stress
Term
ethylene transportation method
Definition
ethylene is a gas so transport is fast and by diffusion from the synthesis site through intracellular space

highly affective of surrounding plant/leaf structures once produced
Term
ehtylene triggered responses
Definition
promotes fruit ripenins
triggers leaf and flower senescence
leaf and flower abscission
Term
Abscisic acid ABA, is synthesized from , and has what structure
Definition
synthesized from mevalonic acid
has a complex ring structure
Term
abscisic acid synthesis site
Definition
synthesized in mature leaves,(especially in response to stress), seeds and fruits
Term
abscisic acid transportation method
Definition
primary transport occurs in the phloem, but also may occur in the xylem
Term
effects of abscisic acid
Definition
stimulates

stomata closure
photosynthate transport from leaves to developing seeds
triggers protein storage in seeds
embryogenesis
maintenance of bud and seed dormancy

also promotion of senescence with ethylene
Term
Gibberelins have over __ ? naturally forms from plants,
Definition
80
Term
Gibberelins are produced
Definition
in young shoots
and developing seeds
Term
gibberelins transports in the
Definition
in both the xylem and phloem
Term
effects of gibberelin responses
Definition
stimulates

shoot elongation
induction of seed germination
flowering (particularly in long-day plants and biennials)
Term
Gibberelins are synthesized from what?
Definition
mevalonic acid

(just like abscisic acid!)
