Auxins
Auxins mainly stimulate this type of plant growth.
What is cell elongation?
Cytokinins promote this basic cell process.
What is cell division?
Gibberellins help plants grow taller and stronger by changing this structure in plant cells.
What are cell walls?
Ethylene is the only plant hormone that exists in this state.
What is a gas?
Abscisic acid mainly has this overall effect on plant growth.
What is slowing or preventing growth?
Auxins are commonly produced in this growing tissue at the tips of roots and shoots.
What are apical meristems?
Cytokinins stimulate the production of proteins needed for these two stages of cell division.
What are mitosis and cytokinesis?
Gibberellins are produced in this tissue.
What is the apical meristem?
Ethylene is commonly found in ripening fruits and these aging plant parts.
What are dying leaves and flowers?
ABA blocks the action of this type of hormone.
What are growth-promoting hormones?
This growth pattern, caused by auxins, makes a plant grow mostly upward with few side branches.
What is apical dominance?
Cytokinins delay this process in leaves and fruits.
What is aging?
Gibberellins help stop this process in seeds so they can begin growing.
What is dormancy?
Ethylene controls this important process in fruit.
What is fruit ripening?
ABA controls the opening and closing of these structures on leaves.
What are stomata?
In phototropism, auxin moves to this side of the stem, causing it to bend.
What is the shaded side?
The effect of cytokinins is influenced by the presence of this other hormone.
What are auxins?
Gibberellins can reverse this inherited condition in plants.
What is genetic dwarfism?
This plant tissue transports ethylene internally.
What is the phloem?
ABA is produced in mature green leaves, fruits, and this part of the root.
What are root caps?
ABA helps plants respond to environmental stress by controlling this important process related to water loss.
What is stomatal closure?
Cytokinins also help cells undergo this process of becoming specialized.
What is differentiation?
Farmers use gibberellins to increase the size of this part of crops.
What are fruits?
Ethylene causes fruit to become sweeter by breaking down complex carbohydrates into these two sugars.
What are sucrose and fructose?
ABA helps plants respond to environmental stress by controlling this important process related to water loss.
What is stomatal closure?
