  2. Auxin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auxin

    Local auxin maxima can be formed by active biosynthesis in certain cells of tissues, for example via tryptophan-dependent pathways, [22] but auxins are not synthesized in all cells (even if cells retain the potential ability to do so, only under specific conditions will auxin synthesis be activated in them). For that purpose, auxins have to be ...

  3. Polar auxin transport - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polar_auxin_transport

    Polar auxin transport (PAT) is directional and active flow of auxin molecules through the plant tissues. The flow of auxin molecules through the neighboring cells is driven by carriers (type of membrane transport protein) in the cell-to-cell fashion (from one cell to other cell and then to the next one) and the direction of the flow is determined by the localization of the carriers on the ...

  4. Gravitropism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitropism

    On exposure to sunlight, auxin in the banana migrates from the sunlight side to the shaded side. Since auxin is a powerful plant growth hormone, the increased concentration promotes cell division and causes the plant cells on the shaded side to grow. [13] This asymmetrical distribution of auxin is responsible for the upward curvature of the banana.

  5. Phototropism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phototropism

    The main auxin flow in this model comes from the top of the plant vertically down towards the base of the plant with some of the auxin travelling horizontally from the main auxin flow to both sides of the plant. Receiving light inhibits the horizontal auxin flow from the main vertical auxin flow to the irradiated exposed side.

  6. Indole-3-acetic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indole-3-acetic_acid

    Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA, 3-IAA) is the most common naturally occurring plant hormone of the auxin class. It is the best known of the auxins, and has been the subject of extensive studies by plant physiologists. [1] IAA is a derivative of indole, containing a carboxymethyl substituent. It is a colorless solid that is soluble in polar organic ...

  7. Plant hormone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_hormone

    Cytokinins and auxins often work together, and the ratios of these two groups of plant hormones affect most major growth periods during a plant's lifetime. Cytokinins counter the apical dominance induced by auxins; in conjunction with ethylene, they promote abscission of leaves, flower parts, and fruits.

    Perimeter, the company behind Phos-Chek, has advised in the past cleaning the powder off as soon as it is safe to do so. "The longer the retardant dries, the more difficult it is to remove ...

  9. PIN proteins - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PIN_proteins

    These PIN proteins regulate the partitioning of auxin within the cell. The PM-localized PIN proteins physically interact with a few members of the large PGP family of transporters that also work as auxin efflux carriers (PGP1 and PGP19 in Arabidopsis). These interactions result in a synergistic increase in auxin efflux.
