Study Notes

Plant Nutrition

Light is NOT an essential nutrient required for a plant to complete its life cycle.

Nitrogen Deficiency

The symptom of nitrogen deficiency in plants is stunted growth and yellowing of leaves.

Root Growth

Roots grow in a downward direction in response to gravitropism.

Hydrotropism

Hydrotropism is the tropism that involves the movement of a plant towards or away from water.

Auxin Function

The main function of auxin in plants is to promote cell elongation and cell division.

Gibberellin Effect

Reducing gibberellin levels in a plant can lead to stunted growth.

Cytokinin Role

The role of cytokinin in plants is to promote cell division and shoot growth.

Abscisic Acid Function

The function of abscisic acid (ABA) in plants is to regulate seed dormancy and stomatal closure.

Pruning

Gardeners prune to create bushier plants by stimulating the growth of new shoots.

Ethylene Effect

Ethylene promotes fruit ripening and senescence (aging) in plants.

Ethylene Inhibitors

The primary purpose of using ethylene inhibitors on fresh fruits is to prolong their shelf life.

Gibberellin Use

Gibberellin can be used in plant cultivation to increase seed germination and stem growth.
