Plant growth regulators (also called plant hormones) are numerous chemical substances that profoundly influence the growth and differentiation of plant cells, tissues and organs.
Plant hormones (also known as plant growth regulators (PGRs) and phytohormones) are chemicals that regulate a plant's growth. Plant hormones on the other hand, are not like animal hormones, they are often not transported to other parts of the plant and production is not limited to specific locations. Plants lack tissues or organs specifically for the production of hormones; unlike animals, plants lack glands that produce and secrete hormones to be moved around the body. Plant hormones shape the plant, effecting seed growth, time of flowering, the sex of flowers, its longevity, senescence of leaves and fruits, they affect which tissues grow up and which grow downward, leaf formation and stem growth, fruit development and ripening, and even plant death. Hormones are vital to plant growth and lacking them plants would be mostly a mass of undifferentiated cells.

Expains in detail the Plant Growth Hormones, Plant growth promoters and plant growth retardants/inhibitors. The role of Growth hormones in Physiological process of Plants and their application in Plant Tissue culture (Auxins, cytokinins, Gibberellins, ABA, Ethylene)
Plant growth regulators are organic compounds, either natural, or synthetic, that modify or control one or more specific physiological processes with a plant. Natural plant growth regulators are produced by plants and to differentiate these from hormones in animals, the term plant hormones or phytohormones is used for such substances. Plant hormones are naturally occurring compounds produced by the plant to accelerate or retard the rate of growth or maturation.
Plant hormones or Plant hormones are Auxin, Cytokinin, Gibberellic acid, Abscisic acid and Ethylene. they are also called as Phytohormones or Plant Growth Regulators which play key role in various stages of plant development such as seed germination, shoot formation, root formation, stem elongation, scenescence, abscision, fruit ripining etc.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

3. INTRODUCTION:-
• Plant hormones are also known as phytohormones.
• Plant hormones are chemicals that regulate plant growth.
• Hormones also determine the formation of
flowers,stems,leaves,the shedding of leaves, and the
development and ripening of fruit.
• Hormones are vital to plant growth, and lacking them, palnts
would be mostly a mass of undifferentiated cells.so they are
also known as growth factors or growth hormones.
• The term “PHYTOHORMONES” was coined by ‘THIMANN’ in
1948.
4. CHARACTERISTICS:-
• The word hormone is derived from Greek , meaning set in
motion. plant hormones affect gene expression and
transcription levels , cellular division and growth.
• They are naturally produced within plants , though very
similar chemicals are produced by fungi and bacteria , that
can also affect plant growth.
• Plant hormones are not nutrients , but chemicals that in small
amount promote and influence the growth, development ,
and differentiation of cells and tissues.
5. CLASSES OF PLANT HORMONES:-
In general , it is accepted there are five major classes of plants
hormones , some of which are made up of many different
chemicals that can vary in structure from one plant to the
next.
The five major classes are :-
a)AUXIN
b) GIBBERELLIN
c)CYTOKININ
d)ETHYLINE
e)ABSISIC ACID
6. Auxin :-
• Discovered in 1881 by CHARLES AND FRANCIS DARWIN.
• They reported experiments on the response of growing plants
to light.
Grass seedlings do not bend if the tip is covered with a light
proof cap.
They do not bend when a collar is placed below the tip.
30 year later, PETER BOYSEN JENSEN AND ARPAD PAAL
demonstrated that the influence was actually a chemical.
7. AUXIN:-
PRODUCTION
• Shoot tips
• Developing seeds
SOME KNOWN ACTION
• Establish of polarity of root –shoot axis during embryogenesis.
• Cell elongation.
• Cell differentiation.
• Apical dominance.
• Lateral root formation & adventitious root formation.
• Fruit formation
8. Under normal conditions,
shoot tips bend towards
the light
Without light on the
tip, no bending
When not at tip, collar
doesn’t prevent
bending
Conclusion: Light is sensed at the tip, but response not at tip
New hypothesis: A substance or chemical is transported
Auxin later isolated from shoot tips and established to be involved in
cell elongation

Darwins’ (Charles and son) experiment
11. Auxin
• In 1926, Frits Went performed an experiment that
explained all of the previous results
• He named the chemical messenger auxin
• It accumulated on the side of an oat seedling away
from light
• Promoted these cells to grow faster than those on
the lighted side
• Cell elongation causes the plant to bend towards
light
11
13. • Chemical enhanced rather than retarded cell elongation
• Frits Went named the substance that he had discovered
auxin
13
14. How Auxin Works
• Indoleacetic acid (IAA) is the most common
natural auxin
• Probably synthesized from tryptophan
14
15. Synthetic Auxins
• Naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) and
indolebutyric acid (IBA) have many uses in
agriculture and horticulture
• Prevent abscission in apples and berries
• Promote flowering and fruiting in pineapples
• 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) is a
herbicide commonly used to kill weeds
15
16. Gibberellins
• Named after the fungus Gibberella fujikuroi
which causes rice plants to grow very tall
• Gibberellins belong to a large class of over 100
naturally occurring plant hormones
– All are acidic and abbreviated GA
– Have important effects on stem elongation
• Enhanced if auxin present
16
17. • Adding gibberellins to certain dwarf mutants
restores normal growth and development
17
18. • GA is used as a signal from the embryo that
turns on transcription of genes encoding
hydrolytic enzymes in the aleurone layer
• When GA binds to its receptor, it frees GA-
dependent transcription factors from a
repressor
• These transcription factors can now directly
affect gene expression
18
19. Gibberellins
• Hasten seed germination
• Used commercially to extend internode length
in grapes
– Result is larger grapes
19
20. Cytokinins
• Plant hormone that, in combination with
auxin, stimulates cell division and
differentiation
20
Synthetic cytokinins
21. • Produced in the root apical meristems and
developing fruits
• In all plants, cytokinins, working with other
hormones, seem to regulate growth patterns
• Promote the growth of lateral buds into
branches
• Inhibit the formation of lateral roots
– Auxin promotes their formation
21
23. Cytokinins
• Promote the synthesis or
activation of cytokinesis proteins
• Also function as antiaging
hormones
• Agrobacterium inserts genes that
increase rate of cytokinin and
auxin production
– Causes massive cell division
– Formation of crown gall tumor
23
24. • Plant tissue can
form shoots,
roots, or an
undifferentiated
mass depending
on the relative
amounts of auxin
and cytokinin
24
25. Ethylene
• Gaseous hydrocarbon (H2C―CH2)
• Auxin stimulates ethylene production in the tissues
around the lateral bud and thus retards their growth
• Ethylene also suppresses stem and root elongation
• Major role in fruit development – hastens ripening
– Transgenic tomato plant can’t make ethylene
– Shipped without ripening and rotting
25
26. Abscisic Acid
• Synthesized mainly in mature green leaves,
fruits, and root caps
• Little evidence that this hormone plays a role
in abscission
• Induces formation of dormant winter buds
• Counteracts gibberellins by suppressing bud
growth and elongation
• Counteracts auxin by promoting senescence
26
27. Abscisic Acid
• Necessary for dormancy in seeds
– Prevents precocious germination called vivipary
• Important in the opening and closing of
stomata
27
29. Other known hormones:-
• Other identified plant growth regulators
include-
a)BRASSINOSTEROID:-
• First discovered in the pollen of brassica spp.
• Are structurally simillar to steroid hormones.
30.
31. Brassinosteroids
• Functional overlap with other plant hormones,
especially auxins and gibberellins
• Broad spectrum of physiological effects
– Elongation, cell division, stem bending, vascular
tissue development, delayed senescence,
membrane polarization and reproductive
development
31
32. Salicylic acid:-
• Activate genes in some plants that produce chemicals
that aid in the defense against pathogenic invader.
Jasmonates :-
• Are produced from fatty acids & seems to promote
the production of defense proteins that are used to
fend off invading organisms.
• Also have a role in seed germination.
33. plant peptide hormones:-
Involved in cell to cell signaling.
Roles in plant growth &development , including defense
mechanism.
Polyamines:-
Are strongly basic molecule with low molecular weight that
have been found in all organism studied thus far.
Nitric oxide:-
Serves as signals in hormonal &defense response.
E.G-nitrogen fixation , stomata closure , germination , cell
death.
34. Karrikins :-
• Not plant hormones because they are not made by plants, but
are a group of plant growth regulator found in the smoke of
burning plant materials that have the ability to stimulates the
germination of seeds.
Strigolactones :-
Implicated in the inhibition of shoot branching.
Triacontanol :-
A fatty alcohol that acts as a growth stimulant, especially
initiating new basal breaks in the rose family.
It is found in ALFALFA (Lucerne),BEE’S WAX.
35. POTENTIAL MEDICAL APPLICATION:-
Plant stress hormones activate cellular response, including
cell death to diverse stress situation in plants.
Researchers have found that some plant stress hormone
share the ability to adversely affect human cancer cells.
E.G:-sodium salicylate has been found to suppress
proliferation of LYMPHOBLASTIC LEUKEMIA,PROSTATE
&MELANOMA human cancer cells.
Methyl jasmonate has been found to induce cell death in a
number of cancer cell lines.
36. conclusion
• There exists a certain elegance by which the
hormones counteract each other, regulate
each other, and create completely unique and
unexpected effects in tandem.
• The balance of auxin and cytokinin, not either
hormone in isolation, allow for calluses to
differentiate, while abscisic acid and
gibberelins struggle against each other in
regulation of seed dormancy.
