Plant biotechnology hormones(regulators)
- hormones are chemical produce by plant that regulate the growth of plant.
- hormones are now as growth regulators are organic compounds that have been naturally synthesised in higher plant which influence the growth and development.
- growth regulator are categories in major 3 class
- 1.Auxin;
- it induce cell division, cell elongation\, and callus formation.
- it has been Rhisogenic action (induce rooting)
- auxin derive from greek word auxein =to grow ,it is 1st isolate from plant and human urine
- all these auxin have been used in agriculture and horticulture practices
- they help to prevent to fruit and leaf drop at early stages .
- for example
IAA, IBA, 2,4-D
2. cytokinen
- cytokinin are derivative of adnine and have important role in shoot induction
- they have clear effect on cell division and often used to stimulation of growth and development
- cytokinin have important role in organogenesis where they stimulate the bud formation
- For example-
b. BAP
c. kinetin
3. Gibberelline
- gebberellins regulates the cell elongation organomically . it is important in determining plant hight and fruit set .
- gibberellines are a group of plant hormones that, like , auxin promote plant growth.
- also effective in stimulating elongation of internodes ,in altering flower time, and increase the cell invasion .
4.Abscisic acid
- It inhibits the cell division and it an important growth regulator for induction of embyrogenesis
- A potent inhibitor of seed germination without being injurious to the seed.
5. Ethylene
- It is associated with controlling ripening in climatic fruit and its used in plant tissues culture is generally inhibited
- a simple gas that is made in small quantities by many plant tissues
- It serve as powerful natural regulator of growth and development.
