Types of Hormones Present in Plants | Biotechnology

The following points highlight the three types of hormones which regulates the growth and development of plants. The hormones are: 1. Auxins 2. Cytokinins 3. Gibberellins. Hormone # 1. Auxins: Both naturally occurring and synthetic auxins are available and are widely used in cultures for clonal propagation work. Naturally occurring auxin is indole acetic acid (IAA). Synthetic ones are 2, [...]

Role of Auxins and Cytokinins in Culture Medium | Plants

In this article we will discuss about the role of auxins and cytokinins in culture medium. Effective, speedy growth and desirable morphogenesis in tissue culture requires the pres­ence of both auxins and cytokinins in culture medium. The relative concentration of auxins and cytokinins are often essential to bring about some kind of morphogenesis. Axillary shoot prolif­eration in some species may [...]

Plant Hormone Signalling | Biotechnology

In this article we will discuss about the three main plant hormone signalling involved in differential development and other physiological process in plants:- 1. Cytokinin Signalling 2. Auxin Signalling 3. Gibberellin Signalling. 1. Cytokinin Signalling: Cytokininis have been registered as one of the key plant hormones involved in differential development and other physiological process in plants, such as cell division, [...]
