Dropping of leaves

During shoot growth- Cerebrum
When shoot illuminated from one grow of the side
When shoot illuminated from all sides
side (auxins move towards shaded doesnt take place
(auxins distributed evenly -> elongation
part -> elongation of shaded
of cells across entire zone of elongation)
side -> bending towards light
The cereb
Apical dominance Human brain
Expansins (enzyme) Cell elongation
loosens cellulose - via transport
make cells stretch hydrogen ions to Auxins Hypothala
to make room for
water
cell walls- lowers
pH for expansins
Plant and animal
Commercial use: delay senescence in responses Medulla o
citruses, elongation of apples with cytokinins Gibberellins Plant growth responses ->
and in brewing beer for malt production plant growth regulators
Nervous and endocrine systems in
prevent yellowing of lettuce leaves - Shoots exhibit coordination
Cytokinins
promote shoot growth positive
phototropism -
speeds up ripening, promote lateral growth, towards light growth Physiological changes Pu
Ethene
promote fruit drop response Phototropism
