5 Plant Hormones

Gibberellin

Abscisic acid

Ethylene

Auxin

influence physiological at very low concentrations

Can simulate or inhibit plant growth

growth

Development

Reproductive growth

Flower Induction

Pollination

Fertilization

Fruit Formation

Fruit Ripening

Change in complexity that accompany growth

Change in function

Change in shape

Increase in body mass

Increase in number of cell

Increase in size

Early stage for seed to germinate when the condition is suitable

Plant undergoes vegetative growth without reproductive activities

Plant start to show their characteristic. etc: their leaves

Plant start to show their final stage like flowering and fruiting.

Cytokinins

Stimulate lateral bud growth , delay aging and death

Stimulate stem elongation , induce parthenocarpic in seed development , promotes maleness

Stimulate the closure of stomata , promotes dormancy in buds and seeds

Gas found in the tissue of ripening fruits and stem nodes

regulates phototropism, gravitropism , promotes stem growth , stimulate root growth

Transfer of pollen grains to the stigma from the anther to the stigma of flower


1- Self pollination
2- Cross pollination

Not directly involved development process but act at low concentrations

The physiological process in the plant by which the shoot apical meristem becomes competent to develop flowers.

Fertilization is a process of sexual reproduction in plants, which occurs after pollination and germination.

One of the organs that remains on the plant after pollination and fertilization is the ovary.

Ripeness brings out the best flavor, texture, textand even an appetizing smell.

Plant start to dying.

E.g: Plant increases in the number and size of leaves and stems

E.g: Primary root transform into adventitious root

Location: Shoot tips, terminal buds, young leaves and flowers.

Location: Shoot apex, embryonic tissue.

Location: leaves, stems, and green fruits

Location: Tissue of ripening fruits and stem nodes

Location: meristemic cell, embryonic tissue

e.g

e.g

e.g

e.g

Ethylene (natural)

Ethaphon (synthetic)

benzoic acid (natural)

daminozide (B-9 , synthetic)

e.g

Gibberellin acid (GA3)
