The biosynthesis of the main auxin in plants (indole-3-acetic acid [IAA]) has been elucidated recently and is thought to involve the sequential conversion of Trp to indole-3-pyruvic acid to IAA. However, the pathway leading to a less well studied auxin, phenylacetic acid (PAA), remains unclear. Here, we present evidence from metabolism experiments that PAA is synthesized from the amino acid Phe, via phenylpyruvate. In pea (Pisum sativum), the reverse reaction, phenylpyruvate to Phe, is also demonstrated. However, despite similarities between the pathways leading to IAA and PAA, evidence from mutants in pea and maize (Zea mays) indicate that IAA biosynthetic enzymes are not the main enzymes for PAA biosynthesis. Instead, we identified a putative aromatic aminotransferase (PsArAT) from pea that may function in the PAA synthesis pathway.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Physiological role of growth hormones
( Auxins, Gibberellins, Cytokinins, Abscisic acid, and Ethylene)
2. Plant hormones are naturally occurring organic
substances which control morphological,
physiological and biochemical responses at very low
concentrations.
Plant hormones are also called phytoharmones or
plant growth substances (PGS).
The term plant growth regulators (PGR) arc used to
represent the synthetic growth regulators.
The major types of plant hormones are: Auxins,,
Cytokinins, Gibberellins, Ethylene, Abscisic acid.
3. Auxins
It is the 1st plant hormone which is discovered by Went
(1928) from Avena curvature test.
The most common naturally occurring auxin is IAA
(Indole-3 -acetic acid) that resembles the amino acid
tryptophan from which it is synthesized.
IAA synthesized in shoots apical meristeins and transport
basipetally (from apex to base) through polar transport (by
parenchyma cells) and non-polar transport (by phloem).
The synthetic Auxins are ;
NAA (Naphthalene acetic acid),
IBA (Indolebutyric acid),
2, 4-D (2, 4- dichlorophenoxy acetic acid),
2, 4, 5-T, (2, 4, 5, -tricholrophenoxy acetic acid).
4.
5. Importance/Role/Effect of IAA
1. Promote growth in stems and coleoptiles but inhibit growth in
roots.
2. Causes bending of coleoptiles towards light (phototropism) and
control geotropism (growth in response to gravity)
3. Causes the growth of apical bud and inhibits the growth of
lateral buds. This phenomenon is called apical dominance.
4. Delays shedding of leafs (abscission).
5. Promote the production of parthenocarpic (seedless) fruits.
6. Stimulates the differentiation of xylem and phloem.
7. Promote the formation of lateral roots and adventitious roots.
8. The 2, 4, -D and 2, 4, 5 -T are used as herbicides.
9. Synthetic auxins cause flowering, fruiting and stimulate
rooting of cutting
6. Promote growth in
stems
Inhibit growth in
roots
Work in phototropism
Growth of apical bud
Inhibits the growth of lateral buds
Delays shedding of leaves
(abscission)
Promote the production
of parthenocarpic
(seedless) fruits
Stimulates the
differentiation of xylem
and phloem
Formation of lateral
roots and adventitious
roots
2, 4, -D and 2, 4,
5 -T are used as
herbicides
Synthetic auxins cause
flowering, fruiting and
stimulate rooting of cutting
7. Cytokinins
Cytokinins are naturally occurring growth promoters that in
combination with auxin, promote cell division and
differentiation in plants.
Chemically cytokines are purine derivatives similar to
adenine.
In all plants, Zeatin (trans-6-purine) is the most about
naturally occurring cytokinin but dihydrozeatin and
isopentenyl adenine are also commonly found in higher plants
and bacteria.
The zeatins found in bound form in plants such as riboside,
ribotide or glycoside and convert into free zeatin by enzymes.
They occur in both free and bound forms.
Zeatin was first isolated from kernels of Zea mays and in
liquid endosperm of coconut.
8. Cytokinin synthesized in root apical meristem and
transported upward through xylem elements as zeatine
ribosides.
They also synthesized in developing embryos and in crown
gall tissues.
Cytokinin also occur as modified bases in certain t-RNA
molecules of all organisms (bacteria to plants and human).
The synthetic cytokinins are;
Kinetin (6-furfuryl aminopurine),
BAP (benzylaminopurine) etc.
9. Role/Importance of Cytokinin
Cytokinin stimulates cytokinesis (cell divisions).
It causes the enlargement of stem cells, rather than their
longitudinal extension.
Modify apical dominance and promote lateral bud
growth.
Promotes chloroplast maturation.
Cytokinin increases the number of buds in Funaria.
This helps in conversion of moss protonema into leafy
gametophore.
Promote nutrient mobilization from other parts of plant
to leaves.
Delay leaf senescence (Richmond-Lang effect)
10. Regulate morphogenesis of shoot and root in tissue
culture.
Stimulate the dormancy of seeds and buds.
Induce flowering in SDP.
Increase resistance of plants to adverse factors such as
high and low temperature and certain diseases.
High concentration of cytokinin induces epinasty
(downward curvature of leaves).
11. Gibbereliins
Gibberellins (GAs) first isolated from the
ascomycetes fungus, Gibberella fujikuroi that causes
‘bakanae’ or foolish seedling disease of rice.
At present many naturally occurring GAs are known
through many don’t have biological activity(Inactive
form).
They are referred as GA1 GA2, GA3.
The most common gibberellin is GAg (gibberelic
acid).
Chemically GAs is tetracylic diterpenoids consists of
4 isoprene units (C5H8).
12. GAs can be subdivided into C20-gibberellins (consists
of 20C) and C19-gibberllins (consists of 19C).
GA synthesis occurs, in young leaves and buds,
developing seeds and fruits and in roots.
GA transported passively through xylem and phloem.
They transport by non-polar method.
13. Effects/Role of GA3
Causes extension of stem due to cell elongation and not by cell
division.
In germinating seeds, embryos secrete GA that promotes the
production of amylase and other hydrolases necessary for
mobilization of reserve food.
Exogenous application breaks dormancy of seed and bud.
Exogenous application promote flowering in LDP, induce
parthenocarpy (seedless fruits), increase the size of flower and
fruit, and break dormancy of seed and buds.
Application GA promotes the formation of pistillate flowers in
maize but promote staminate flowers in maize, spinach,
cucumber, hemp etc.
Cause the increase in length of internodes (bolting) in rosette
plants and genetically dwarf varieties of plants like corn and
pea.
14. It is a substitute of vernalization (low temperature
treatment) that causes early flowering in plants.
Commercially GA3 is used to increase the stalk length
of seedless grapes that allow the grapes to grow larger.
It is also used in malting of barley in brewing process,
delay senscence of citrus, increase the height of sugar
cane and sugar yield.
Fern prothallus (gametophyte) release GA3derivatives
that promote development of antheridia on adjacent
gametophyte. Here, it acts as pheromones.
15. Ethylene
Ethylene or ethene (CH2 = CH2) is volatile gas present in
the smoke and other industrial gases.
R Gane (1934) established that ethylene is a natural plant
hormone responsible for fruit ripening.
Ethylene is produced in bacteria, fungi and plant organs.
Senescing tissues and ripening fruits produce more
ethylene than young tissues.
The precursor of ethylene biosynthesis, is the amino acid
methionine.
Ethylene biosynthesis is increased by IAA, Cytokinins and
water stress, Ethylene gas diffuses from one tissue and
affects other tissues organs.
It is biologically active at a concentration or 1 µl<1 per liter.
16. Effects /Role of Ethylene
Promotes fruit ripening, senescence of flowers and
leaves.
Accelerates the abscission of plant organs.
In the abscission zone ethylene promotes weakening of
cell wall.
Breaks seed dormancy of cereals and bud dormancy of
potato tubers.
Induces flowering in mango, pineapple etc. but inhibit
flowering in most cases.
Promote formation of female flowers in cucumbers.
Ethylene at high concentration (10µl L_1) induces
adventitious rooting and root hair formation.
17. Ethylene treated shoots exhibit triple response i.e.,
1. Decrease stem elongation,
2. Increased lateral growth (cell expansion) and
3. Horizontal growth in response to physical barriers
by Neljubow (1901), a graduate students of Russia, in pea-
seedling.
Ethylene induces leaf epinasty.
Ethephon when sprayed absorbed by plant and release
ethylene slowly.
This is commercially used to enhance fruit ripening,
abscission of flowers and fruits and degreening of citrus.
18. Abscisicacid(ABA)
ABA is a natural growth inhibitor synthesized in all
cells of vascular plants and mosses that contain
plastids.
ABA is transported through xylem and phloem,
Chemically, ABA is a 15-C terpenoid compound
(sesquiterpene) derived from the terminal part of the
carotenoid precursor.
19. Effects /Role of ABA
ABA promotes bud dormancy,
Leaf senescence,
Abscission of organs,
Closing of stomata etc.
