Auxin is one of the phytohormones. Auxin is basically represented as indol-3-acetic acid (IAA) in plants. It is important in regulating various growths and formation processes (Kefeli & Kalevitch, 2003). Auxin is essential in many vital tasks in plants. Therefore, plants which are unable to produce IAA do not exist. The role of auxin is described by “short distance activity” as a morphogen (Friml, 2003). The term morphogen was probably first being used by the British mathematician Alan Mathison Turing
As discussed by Taylor (1986), tomato is a type of plant from the family of Solanaceae. There are many tomato species around the world. The tomato is not easy to plant in Malaysia and it is also very important as a food for the citizen. This tomato plant is easy to cultivate in area which is in moderate temperature and firstly came from the place which is in dry west coast of tropical South America (Cooper, 1972). According to Picken, Stewart, and Klapwijk (1986), there are several techniques for
differentiation, and elongation of cells. (Campbell, 2008) Each hormone has multiple effects depending on its site of action, its concentrations, and the developing stage of the plant. (Campbell, 2008) Auxin is a plant hormone that is synthesized within the apical meristems and young leaves of a growing plant. Auxin stimulates stem elongation when it is present is low concentrations. It promotes the formations of lateral and adventitious roots, regulates development of fruit, enhances apical dominance, functions
different compounds. They are all organic compounds, they may resemble molecules which turn up elsewhere in plant structure or function, but they are not directly involved as nutrients or metabolites. Hormone Source Action Auxins apical meristem (only moves down), embryo of seed, young leaves • Control of cell elongation • apical dominance (prevents lateral buds) • prevents abscission • continued growth of fruit • cell division in vascular and cork
plants over a period of five weeks. Due to auxin being produced in the tip, tip cuttings should root faster than any other cuttings. Auxin is a plant hormone that is responsible for cell elongation and enlargement, root formation, and growth. There are two forms of auxins; phototropism, which is produced in the tip and moves downward on the side away from the light and gravitropism, which is where plant roots grow downward and plant shoots grow upward.(Plant Auxin 201...

transported between the cells of a plant (Source 1, Source 3), and are responsible for several operations such as the growth of stems, leaves, and seed germination (Source 1). Introduction to plant hormones: There are five main plant hormones, Auxin, Abscisic Acid (ABA), Cytokinins, Ethylene, and Gibberellins (Source 1). Plant hormones have individual roles, and functions, yet often require the
longer be made to increase the height of the plant or length of the roots to support a taller plant. 8. How does auxin alter gene expression when influencing cell growth rates? Auxin influences cell growth rate and alters gene expression by combining with a receptors that targets transcriptional repressors of auxin-response genes that will that either cause or inhibit plant growth. Auxins repress genes or the opposite, to allow other genes to stimulate the plant to grow. The role of this hormone is
degradation of Aux/IAA to promote the expression of auxin induced genes. It has an important role in the regulation of auxin response genes and thus its function is conserved throughout plants. In our experiments we looked at the function of TIR1 by characterising an EMS tir1-1 mutant and also identified the members in the TIR1 gene family in arabidopsis and determined if the TIR1 function was conserved in other plant groups. Aux/IAA genes are one of the early auxin response genes that encode short-lived nuclear
gravity and light. The way the plant grows depends on the distribution of auxin in the plant tissue. Auxin is made at the tip of the stem, and then flows downwards. Auxin is vital to the survival of plants because it allows the plant to photosynthesize as much as possible. Light destroys auxin, so when it strikes the stem it kills the auxin on the side nearest the light source, causing an imbalance of auxin. Because more auxin is present on the side facing away from the light source, that side grows
The term Cosmeceuticals was first used by Raymond Reed founding member of U.S Society of Cosmetics Chemist in 1961. He actually used the word to brief the active and science based cosmetics. The above term was further used by Dr Albert Kligman in the year 1984 to refer the substances that have both cosmetic and therapeutic benefits [1]. In the last few decades, there has been an exponential growth in the field of herbal cosmeceuticals which are gaining popularity in world market because of their
more of its commercial potential. Tissue culture is also used for production of pathogen free plants, germplasm preservations, and year round propagation. Callus culture - Callus formation is a mass of undifferentiated cells from an explant. Both auxins and cytokinins are needed for proper development. Subculturing must be done every 3-5 weeks. This type of culture is mostly done for maintaining cell lines or morphogenesis. Suspension culture - Cells are cultured in a liquid medium to form a callus
A man (let’s call him Joe) injects an unknown hormone, provided by a veterinarian, into a pecan tree. The following season, the pecan tree produces crop for the first time. Thereafter, the pecan tree produces crop the following seasons without acquiring another hormone shot. Is the crop production due to the hormone shot or other factors? Cattle breeders inject their female cattle (cows) with hormones to help with reproduction for reasons such as fertility and synchronization. With fertility help
Wheat (Triticum aestivum) is the second most produce crop of the world after the corn. It is the dietary part of millions of people and also the big source of protein for human. Its grain is also use for the making of bread, biscuits, cookies, cakes, breakfast cereal, pasta, noodles, or biofuel, chips and many other market products. Wheat also fermented to make alcoholic beverages and primarily beer. It is still the basic ingredient in Scotch and Irish whiskey. Straw of wheat is also used as fodder
AGENT ORANGE Agent Orange has been one of the most toxic herbicides and carcinogens to humans to have ever been made. In the late 1960s and early 1970s, Agent Orange was an herbicide that was used to clear out the Vietnamese jungle. The jungle was crucial to the success of early Vietnamese victories because it provided cover for their guerilla tactics that involved poking in and out of the jungle and striking for shorts bits of time, taking the United States armies by surprise. The jungle also provided
Experimental Plant Material: The healthy plant of Stevia rebaudiana for micropropagation has been selected from the garden of Integrated Biotechnological Research Institute, Lucknow. The aseptic conditions were maintained following suitable sterilization methods. Sterilization and Disinfection: Since we have known so far about the ways of sterilization,here is a review about sterilization and techniques involved for plant sterilization.Sterilization is the process where all the living microbes
INTRODUCTION Nutrient are important for plant growth. These are also called essential elements and required for the plant to complete its life cycle. Nutrients are important for growth and development of crop, promotes vegetative and reproductive growth, provides protection against many devastating pathogens that is responsible for the yield loss in many economically important crop. Sixteen important nutrients are vital for plant growth. These are 1. Macronutrients: These nutrients are required in
Grafting Golden Chain Tree Laburnum x watereri ' Vossi ' Laburnums are a genus of small deciduous trees and are used for a splash of color in a landscape because of their chains of golden flowers. The plant in this genus are highly poisonous, especially the seeds. The hybrids in this genus are generally less poisonous and produce less seeds. The are only two known species that belong to this genus, Laburnum anagyriodes (Common Laburnum), and Laburnum alpinum (Alpine Laburnum). Laburnum x watereri
Plants use hormones to regulate growth and respond to stimuli such as light. Nearly every factor of plant development is influenced by hormones to some extent. There are several varieties of plant hormones, including auxins, cytokinins, ethylene, strigolactones, abscisic acid, jasmonates, brassinosteroids, and gibberellins (Campbell et al., 2015). Gibberellins are also known as gibberellic acid or GA3. Gibberellins are responsible for increasing stem length, fruit growth
When examining categories of plants and their reproductive success, it is clear that one group is always more successful than any other group, and this group is angiosperms. Angiosperms are vascular plants that reproduce through a variety of mechanisms which have evolutionary significance. There are over 250,000 different species of angiosperms, making them one of the most diverse categories of plants. (Angiosperms 1) Their adaptability and reproductive methods, such as seeds and flowers, allow them
