Cytokinin And Active Growth. Flashcards
What are cytokinin?
Plant hormone drives from adenine
Why are they named cytokinins?
Because of their role in cytokinesis a stage of cell division.
Where are cytokinins found?
Roots, embryos, and fruits, where cell division is actively occurring.
What will happen if cytokinins is not present in plant?
Germination Will stop, cell division will not be regulated In roots and shoots
What will happen if Zeatin is sprayed on meristem during early stages?
It will activates formation of lateral branching on stem, and increase branching, this result in bushier more productive monocot such as rise and other grains.
What will form ( root or callus or shoot) when auxins conc =2 and kinetin conc= 0.2?
Callus.
What will form ( root or callus or shoot) when auxins conc =0.2 and kinetin conc= 1?
Shoot
What will form ( root or callus or shoot) when auxins conc =2 and kinetin conc= 0.02?
Roots
What will form ( root or callus or shoot) when auxins conc =0 and kinetin conc= 0.2?
No growth
Explain the role of antagonistic hormone control in seedlings and lateral buds
If the concentration of kinetin was increased, auxin level decreased, and shoots formed.
• When kinetin was low, auxin was high, and roots are formed.
