Plant growth regulators: Auxins, gibberellins, cytokinins

Gravity Dispersal

It is the roots that keep plants, trees, as well as other greenery immobile and firmly rooted in the ground. The ability for trees and plants to actually go to different locations is not present, as it is in the case of animals. As a result, Planet Earth has devised ingenious strategies to assist assure […]

Naturally Occurring Cytokinin

These hormones are found in abundance in all of the complex plants, bacteria, mosses, and fungi on the planet. It is estimated that there are over 200 different types of synthetic and natural cytokinins, with the majority of them developing in the meristem of the roots. It is the term of a type of plant

Glumiflorae

They are distinguished by their “grassy” appearance, which distinguishes them from the Glumiflorae, which include grasses, sedges, rushes, and cattails. Even though they don’t look like flowering plants, they are in fact flowering plants that produce a large number of small flowers without splashy petals. The Glumiflorae are one of the most diverse and well-known

Natural Auxin

Plants need light, water, oxygen, minerals, and other nutrients to grow and flourish. Aside from these external requirements, plants rely on organic chemicals to signal, regulate, and control their development. These are known as plant growth regulators or plant growth hormones. Plant growth regulators are organic compounds that are generated in minute quantities in one

MYCORRHIZAE

Fungi and Gymnosperms form a symbiotic interaction known as mycorrhizae. Mycorrhiza is a fungus that has a mutually beneficial interaction with the roots of higher plants like Gymnosperms and Angiosperms. The mycorrhizal fungi acquire their food from the plant’s root cortical cells, and in turn, these mycorrhizal fungi offer the plant with more surface area,

Gibberellins in Plants

Gibberellin refers to a family of plant hormones found in seeds, young leaves, and roots. Gibberella fujikuroi is a hormone-producing fungus belonging to the Ascomycota phylum that causes excessive growth and poor yield in rice plants. Gibberellins appear to encourage the growth of major stems, particularly when administered to the entire plant. They also play

Gibberellin

Introduction Gibberellin, is a gathering of plant chemicals that happen in seeds, youthful leaves and roots. In the early part of the 20th century, ‘bakane’ (foolish seedling) disease of rice seedling, which resulted in weak, elongated stems and produced little or no grains. Swept across Japan. A Japanese plant pathologist E. Kurosawa (1926) found that

Mutation breeding

“Plant breeding is the deliberate modification of plant attributes to produce new kinds with a desired set of features.Plants of greater grade are chosen and crossed to produce plants of the desired quality. As a result, a plant population with better and desired features emerges.Let’s take a closer look at the goals and processes involved
