25-1 Hormones and Plant Growth
25-1 Hormones and Plant Growth
Plant growth follows certain patterns that differ among species. Also, plants never stop growing due to action of chemicals/meristems
Biologists have found that plant cells send signals to one another that indicate when to divide and when not to, and when to develop into a new kind of cell
Plant hormones, which are chemical substances, control a plant's patterns of growth and development, and the plant's responses to environmental conditions
Hormones have different affects in different tissues of the plant

25-2 Plant Responses
Like all living things, plants respond to changes in their environments. Biologists call this plant behavior
The responses of plants to external stimuli are called tropisms. These include gravitropism, phototropism, and thigmotropism
![Page 126: Chapter(3( The(Biosphere( · ... (Ecosystem?(• An(organisms’(job(in(an(ecosystem(is(its(Niche.(( ... (that(an(environment(can(support(is(the(Carrying ...

The response of a plant to gravity is called gravitropism. This causes a plant to grow up out of the soil against the force of gravity. It causes the roots to grow into the soil with the force of gravity.
![Page 127: Chapter(3( The(Biosphere( · ... (Ecosystem?(• An(organisms’(job(in(an(ecosystem(is(its(Niche.(( ... (that(an(environment(can(support(is(the(Carrying ...

A plant's response to light is called phototropism. This causes a plant to grow toward a light source.
![Page 128: Chapter(3( The(Biosphere( · ... (Ecosystem?(• An(organisms’(job(in(an(ecosystem(is(its(Niche.(( ... (that(an(environment(can(support(is(the(Carrying ...

The response of plant to touch is called thigmotropism. A plant that is touched regularly can sometimes be stunted in growth. Another example of this is the growth of vines and climbing plants.
![Page 129: Chapter(3( The(Biosphere( · ... (Ecosystem?(• An(organisms’(job(in(an(ecosystem(is(its(Niche.(( ... (that(an(environment(can(support(is(the(Carrying ...

Some plant responses are so fast they are not considered tropisms. Instead they are referred to as rapid responses. Sometimes caused by changes in osmotic pressure (caused by diffusion of water into cells) and cell wall expansion.
Plants also respond to periods of light and darkness. This response is called photoperiodism. This is responsible for timing of seasonal activities like flowering and growth.
![Page 130: Chapter(3( The(Biosphere( · ... (Ecosystem?(• An(organisms’(job(in(an(ecosystem(is(its(Niche.(( ... (that(an(environment(can(support(is(the(Carrying ...

Plants that flower when days are short are called short-day plants, plants that flower when days are long are called long-day plants.
The period during which an organism's growth and activity decrease or stop is known as dormancy. These changes are important in protecting plants over the cold winter months.
As cold approaches deciduous plants turn off photosynthetic pathways and transport materials from leaves to roots and seal off the rest of the plant.

In temperate regions, flowering plants lose their leaves during winter. A series of events that gradually shut down the leaf. First, chemical pathways for chlorophyll synthesis stop, revealing yellow and organge carotenoids. New pigments are produced in autumn which produce the brilliant colors of autumn.
The nutrients from the broken down chlorophyll are transported to other parts of the plant, where they're stored until spring. An abscission layer of cells at the petiole seals the leaf off from the plant's vascular system.

25-3 Plant Adaptations
To take in sufficient oxygen, many aquatic plants have tissues with large air-filled spaces through which oxygen can diffuse.
The reproductive adaptations of aquatic plants include seeds that float in water and delay germination for long periods.
Salt-tolerant plants take in much more salt than the plant can use. The roots are adapted to high salt concentrations. The leaves have specialized cells that pump salt out of the plant tissues and onto leaf surfaces, where it is washed away by rain.

Plants that live in the desert are called xerophytes. They have adaptations that include extensive roots, reduced leaves, and thick stems that can store water. Seeds of many desert plants can lie dormant for years, until sufficient moisture guarantees them a chance for survival.

Plants that have specialized features for obtaining nutrients include carnivorous plants and parasites.
Some plants live in areas where there is very little or no nitrogen present. They obtain nutrients and use specialized leaves that trap and digest insects or sometimes frogs.

Some plants extract water and nutrients from a host.
Epiphytes are plants that are not rooted in soil, so they grow on the bodies of other plants. Found mostly in tropical rain forest, but also in other moist biomes. They gather their own moisture from rainfall and produce their own food. The most common epiphyte is spanish moss.
Many plants defend themselves against insects attack by manufacturing compounds that have powerful effects on animals. Some are poisons and are lethal when eaten. Others act as insect hormones and disrupt normal growth and development.
