Section 1 Plant HormonesChapter 31
Objectives
• List the actions of the five major types of plant hormones.
• Describe agricultural or gardening applications for each of the five major types of plant hormones.
• Discuss how growth retardants are used commercially.
Section 1 Plant HormonesChapter 31
Groups of Hormones
• Plant hormones are formed in many plant parts and regulate many aspects of growth and development. Hormonal responses often have adaptive advantages.
• There are five major groups of plant hormones: auxins, gibberellins, ethylene, cytokinins, and abscisic acid.

Types of Plant Hormones
Section 1 Plant Hormones
Section 1 Plant HormonesChapter 31
Auxins
• Auxins are hormones involved in plant-cell elongation, shoot and bud growth, and rooting.
• A well-known natural auxin is indoleacetic acid, or IAA.

Auxins, continued
Synthetic Auxins– Synthetic auxins are used for killing weeds,
stimulating root formation, and stimulating or preventing fruit drop.
– Naphthalene acetic acid, or NAA, is used to promote root formation on stem and leaf cuttings. NAA can also be applied to a cut shoot tip of the stem to mimic apical dominance (inhibition of lateral bud growth due to presence of a shoot tip).

Gibberellins
• Gibberellins are used to increase the size of fruit, to stimulate seed germination, and to brew beer.
Section 1 Plant HormonesChapter 31
Ethylene
• Ethylene is used to ripen fruit and promote abscission, the detachment of leaves, flowers, or fruits.

Cytokinins
• Cytokinins are used to culture plant tissues in the lab and to promote lateral bud growth of flower crops.

Abscisic Acid
• Abscisic acid promotes dormancy in plant buds, maintains dormancy in seeds, and causes stomata to close.
Section 1 Plant HormonesChapter 31
Other Growth Regulators
• Growth retardants are widely used to reduce plant height.
Section 2 Plant MovementsChapter 31
Objectives
• List the environmental stimuli to which plants respond for each type of tropism.
• Explain the current hypotheses regarding auxins and their function in phototropism and gravitropism.
• Describe two types of nastic movements, and explain how they help a plant survive.
Section 2 Plant MovementsChapter 31
Tropisms
• Tropisms and nastic movements are plant responses to environmental stimuli. – Tropisms occur slowly; nastic movements happen
more quickly.
• A tropism is a response in which a plant grows either toward or away from an environmental stimulus.

Tropism
Section 2 Plant Movements
Section 2 Plant MovementsChapter 31
Tropisms, continued
Phototropism– Phototropism is thought to occur in some plants
when auxin moves to the shaded side of a plant and causes cells there to elongate more than the cells on the lighted side.
– Solar tracking, also called heliotropism, is the motion of leaves or flowers as they follow the sun’s movement across the sky.
Section 2 Plant MovementsChapter 31
Tropisms, continued
Thigmotropism– Thigmotropism is a plant’s growth response to
touching a solid object. – For example, tendrils and stems of vines, such as
morning glories, coil when they touch an object.
Section 2 Plant MovementsChapter 31
Tropisms, continued
Gravitropism– Gravitropism is a plant’s response to gravity. – It is thought to occur when auxin accumulates on
the lower sides of a horizontal root and stem.– This accumulation causes cell elongation on the
lower side of the stem and inhibits cell elongation on the lower side of the root.

Gravitropism in Plants
Section 2 Plant Movements
Section 2 Plant MovementsChapter 31
Tropisms, continued
Chemotropism– Plant growth that occurs in response to a chemical
is called chemotropism. – An example of chemotropism is the growth of a
pollen tube after a flower is pollinated.
Section 2 Plant MovementsChapter 31
Nastic Movements
• Nastic movements are responses to environmental stimuli but are independent of the direction of the stimuli.
Section 2 Plant MovementsChapter 31
Nastic Movements, continued
Thigmonastic movements– Thigmonastic movements occur in response to
touch, such as the closing of the leaf trap of a Venus’ flytrap around an insect.
Section 2 Plant MovementsChapter 31
Nastic Movements, continued
Nyctinastic movements– Nyctinastic movements occur in response to the
daily cycle of light and dark, such as the cyclical vertical and horizontal positioning of leaves in prayer plants.

Section 3 Seasonal ResponsesChapter 31
Objectives
• Define photoperiodism.
• Describe the role of critical night length in flowering.
• Explain the process of vernalization.
• Explain changing fall colors in leaves.
Section 3 Seasonal ResponsesChapter 31
Photoperiodism
• Photoperiodism is a plant’s response to changes in the length of days and nights.
Section 3 Seasonal ResponsesChapter 31
Photoperiodism, continued
Day Length and Night Length– Plants fit in one of three photoperiodic classes for
flowering: day-neutral plants (DNPs), short-day plants (SDPs), and long-day plants (LDPs).
– Short-day and long-day plants have a specific requirement for darkness, called the critical night length. Day neutral plants are not affected by day length.
Section 3 Seasonal ResponsesChapter 31
Photoperiodism, continued
Adjusting the Flowering Cycles of Plants– Flower growers who want to obtain winter
flowering of LDPs simply expose them to a low level of incandescent light in the middle of the night.
– Summer flowering of SDPs is obtained by covering the plants in the late afternoon with an opaque cloth so that the SDPs receive enough darkness.
Section 3 Seasonal ResponsesChapter 31
Photoperiodism, continued
Regulation by Phytochrome– Plants monitor changes in day length with a bluish,
light-sensitive pigment called phytochrome.

Vernalization
• Vernalization is the promotion of flowering by cold temperatures.
• Farmers often plant wheat seeds in the fall so that the seedlings can be exposed to winter temperatures and will flower before summer droughts begin.
Section 3 Seasonal ResponsesChapter 31
Fall Colors
• Changing fall colors in tree leaves are due to chlorophyll degradation, which reveals other pigments already present.
