Study Notes
- Plants produce auxins to control growth in response to light and gravity.
- Shoots show positive phototropic response and negative gravitropic response.
- Roots show negative phototropic response and positive gravitropic response.
- Auxins promote cell elongation in shoots and inhibit it in roots.
- Unequal distribution of auxin causes unequal growth rates in roots and shoots.
- Auxin is mostly made in the tips of growing shoots and diffuses to the region behind the tip.
- Auxin concentration on the shaded side of a shoot causes it to bend towards light.
- Gibberellins initiate seed germination and induce flowering and fruit growth.
- Ethene controls cell division and ripening of fruits.
- Gibberellins and ethene are used commercially.
