directional growth in a planttypes of tropism: phototropism, gravitropism, hydrotropism, thigmotropism TERM 7
DEFINITION 7 plants bend toward the light to maximize the light intercept for photosynthesis TERM 8
DEFINITION 8 plants are oriented to the directionality of gravity-positive in the root-negative in the shoot(shoots grow upwards, roots grow downwards) TERM 9
DEFINITION 9 the movement of a plant towards or away from water(toward water during a drought, away from water during a flood) TERM 10
DEFINITION 10 curling of climbing plants that responds to the stimuli of contact
first discovered; produced in the shoot apical meristem; associated with apical dominanceex:to create the perfect christmas trees, apical dominance is maximizedrooting powder for plant cuttings, prevents fruit and flower drop. promotes seedless fruit production, used as weed killer TERM 17
DEFINITION 17 enhance stem elongation; reducing its level would suppress vertical shoot growthused to cause uniform germination of barley used in brewing, prevents flower initiation, promotes seedless fruit production TERM 18
DEFINITION 18 produced in roots; stimulate cell division; delay leafyellowingunder environmental stressused to trigger growth of whole plants from genetically engineered plant cells TERM 19
DEFINITION 19 produced in mature levels; closes the leaf stomata under water stress to preserve waterinhibits growth and promotes flowering of potted plants for florists TERM 20
DEFINITION 20 gas form; emitted from yellowing leaves and ripening fruits; stimulate leaf and fruit abscissionhastens ripening of tomatoes, walnuts, and grapes after harvest, used as fruit thinning agent in commercial orchards; used to defoliate plants
