This week we learnt about Regulation of Developmental and Differentiation Hormone. Im going to remember so many hormone name and its function. So lets going through one by one its application.
AUXIN : When the tip been remove, axillary bud will grow make the plant look bushier. Phenomenon called apical dominance. Well it is help our garden to be more pretty and interactive.
CYTOKININS : It has the property of delay aging process and help cell division.
GIBBERELLIN : It is help in germination.
So, when you want to create dwarf plant, make sure the plant do not produce gibberellin.
ABA HORMONE : Work opposite of GA. In the seed, when the plant undergo maturation. ABA will be produce to stop growth. For example, mangrove plant. Mangroves seed naturally have low levels of ABA. When the mabgrove plant produce seed and germinate on the tree and fall into the water and start to grow. Root anchor the ground and shoot grow upward.
ETHYLENE : help in ripening of fruit.
Hormones play many roles in growth of plant. I can apply what I learn in my everyday life in planting trees. Because sometimes we can modified plant on some characteristic we want. For example for the plant to look more bushier by cutting the tip of the stem or to ripen the plant by spraying ethylene on it. So, That is all for this post. Thank you!
