- 2. TYPES OF MOVEMENTS 1. TROPIC MOVEMENTS 2. NASTIC MOVEMENTS
- 3. Movement of plant towards the stimulus is called tropic movement .
- 4. Phototropism – Movement of plant towards light is called phototropism. Shoot grow towards light. Shoot is positively phototropic while root is negatively phototropic .
- 5. Movement of plants in response to gravity is called geotropism . Roots are positively geotropic and shoots are negatively geotropic .
- 6. Growth of plants towards water is called hydrotropism . Roots grow towards water.
- 7. Movement of plants towards chemicals is called chemotropism . Growth of pollen tube towards ovule is an example of chemotropism.
- 8. Nastic movement is not a directional movement of the plant part with response to the stimulus. In nastic movement, from whichever direction the stimulus is applied, it affects all the parts of the organ of a plant equally and they always move in the same direction .
- 9. Mimosa pudica (touch me not)
- 13. Plant hormones are signal molecules, produced within plants, that occur in extremely low concentrations. Plant hormones control all aspects of plant growth and development, from embryogenesis to regulation of organ size, pathogen defense, stress tolerance and reproductive development.
- 14. The auxin group of hormones has a wide range of uses in a plant. Auxin molecules are found in all tissues in a plant. However, they tend to be concentrated in the meristems, growth centres which are at the forefront of growth. These centres release auxin molecules, which are then distributed towards the roots. In this way, the plant can coordinate its size, and the growth and development of different tissues based on the gradient of the auxin concentration.
- 16. Cytokinins (CK) are a class of plant growth substances (phytohormones) that promote cell division, or cytokinesis, in plant roots and shoots. They are involved primarily in cell growth and differentiation, but also affect apical dominance, axillary bud growth, and leaf senescence.
- 17. Abscisic acid (ABA) is often referred to as a inhibitory rather than stimulatory hormone. It is involved in the closure of stomata, bud and seed dormancy and is known to inhibit other hormonal actions. Stimulates the closing of stomata in the epidermis. Inhibits plant metabolism and seed germination. Mainly involved in regulating abscission and dormancy Induces dormancy in seeds and helps in withstanding desiccation and other unfavorable growth factors.
- 18. It acts as a growth promoter as well as inhibitor. It is a gaseous hormone . Functions 1.Stimulating fruit ripening. 2.Helps in determining the sex of a flower. 3.It is involved in the production of female flowers in a male plant. 4.Promotes Apo-geotropism in roots. 5.Helps in the root initiation and pollination. 6.Ethylene increases the speed of leaf and flower senescence. 7.Induces seed germination. 8.Induces root growth to increase the capability of water and mineral absorption.
