Plants create their own food through the process of photosynthesis, making them autotrophs. Additionally, the process' end result is referred to as a photosynthate or photo-assimilate. In plants, the phloem is a conducting tissue that carries photosynthate (food) to every part of the plant. While storage or the point of use is referred to as the Sink, the source of production or manufacturing is referred to as the Source. The source and sink connection notion is explained in the slides. The mechanisms cover these and other crucial aspects of the topic.
Plant growth regulators (also called plant hormones) are numerous chemical substances that profoundly influence the growth and differentiation of plant cells, tissues and organs.

THE IMPORTANCE OF MARTIAN ATMOSPHERE SAMPLE RETURN.Sérgio Sacani
The return of a sample of near-surface atmosphere from Mars would facilitate answers to several first-order science questions surrounding the formation and evolution of the planet. One of the important aspects of terrestrial planet formation in general is the role that primary atmospheres played in influencing the chemistry and structure of the planets and their antecedents. Studies of the martian atmosphere can be used to investigate the role of a primary atmosphere in its history. Atmosphere samples would also inform our understanding of the near-surface chemistry of the planet, and ultimately the prospects for life. High-precision isotopic analyses of constituent gases are needed to address these questions, requiring that the analyses are made on returned samples rather than in situ.
Observation of Io’s Resurfacing via Plume Deposition Using Ground-based Adapt...Sérgio Sacani
Since volcanic activity was first discovered on Io from Voyager images in 1979, changes
on Io’s surface have been monitored from both spacecraft and ground-based telescopes.
Here, we present the highest spatial resolution images of Io ever obtained from a groundbased telescope. These images, acquired by the SHARK-VIS instrument on the Large
Binocular Telescope, show evidence of a major resurfacing event on Io’s trailing hemisphere. When compared to the most recent spacecraft images, the SHARK-VIS images
show that a plume deposit from a powerful eruption at Pillan Patera has covered part
of the long-lived Pele plume deposit. Although this type of resurfacing event may be common on Io, few have been detected due to the rarity of spacecraft visits and the previously low spatial resolution available from Earth-based telescopes. The SHARK-VIS instrument ushers in a new era of high resolution imaging of Io’s surface using adaptive
optics at visible wavelengths.

2. 2
Plant Growth Regulators
Conventionally called plant hormones, these
substances play vital role in plant growth and
development
These are signal molecules, present in trace
quantities in plant tissue:
– Changes in their concentration and tissue sensitivity can
mediate a whole range of developmental processes in plants,
many of which involve interactions with environmental
factors.
– Plant growth regulators function as chemical messengers for
intercellular communication
3. 3
There are five major plant growth regulators which
includes:
1) Auxin
2) Cytokinins
3) Gibberellins
4) bscisic acid (ABA)
5) ethylene
4. Miscellaneous
There are some other compounds which also affect
and regulate growth and development like:
1) Brassinosteriods
2) Polyamines
3) Jasmonic acid
4) Salicylic acid
5) Novel compounds
4
5. Auxin
Synthesis
Synthesized in stem and root apices
Transported along the plant axis
Its concentration in tissue is regulated by its synthesis
• De novo using L-tryptophan and non-tryptophan precursors
5Plant growth promoters
7. 7
Role of Auxins
• It plays important roles in a number of
plant activities, including:
• development of the embryo
– From the very first mitotic division of the
zygote, gradients of auxin guide the patterning
of the embryo into the parts that will become
the organs of the plant
• leaf formation
• Phototropism (Fig)
• Gravitropism
– Plant shoots display negative gravitropism: when
placed on its side, a plant shoot will grow up
– Roots display positive gravitropism: they grow
down
Plant growth promoters
9. • Apical dominance
– Growth of the shoot apex (terminal shoot) usually inhibits the
development of the lateral buds on the stem beneath. This
phenomenon is called apical dominance
– Apical dominance seems to result from the downward transport of
auxin produced in the apical meristem
• Fruit development
• Pollination of the flowers of angiosperms initiates the formation
of seeds. As the seeds mature, they release auxin to the
surrounding flower parts, which develop into the fruit that
covers the seeds
• Abscission
• Auxin also plays a role in the abscission of leaves and fruits.
Young leaves and fruits produce auxin and so long as they do so,
they remain attached to the stem.
• When the level of auxin declines, a special layer of cells —
the abscission layer — forms at the base of the petiole or fruit
stalk. Soon the petiole or fruit stalk breaks free at this point
and the leaf or fruit falls to the ground
9
10. • Root initiation and development
• The localized accumulation of auxin in
epidermal cells of the root initiates the
formation of lateral or secondary roots.
• Auxin also stimulates the formation
of adventitious roots in many species.
Adventitious roots grow from stems or
leaves rather than from the regular
root system of the plant.
10
12. 2) Cytokinin
• 1913: Gottlieb Haberlandt discovers that a compound
found in phloem can stimulate cell division in potato
parenchyma.
• 1941: Johannes van Overbeek discovered that the
milky endosperm from coconut also had this ability.
• 1955: Carlos Miller, a graduate student in Folke
Skoog's laboratory, identifies kinetin from herring
sperm.
• 1956: Miller and Skoog demonstrate that the ratio of
auxin:cytokinin alters organogenesis in vitro
• 1961-1963: Miller and Letham independently isolate
zeatin, a naturally occurring cytokinin, from maize
41
13. Synthesis of cytokinin
Cytokinins are synthesized de novo from 5’-AMP and
diphosphorylated hemiterpene
Cytokinins can be defined structurally as adenine
derivatives with an isopentenyle based side chain
attached to the N6
amino group
42
14. Roles
14
A. Control morphogenesis
•in plant tissue cultures, cytokinin is required for the
growth of a callus (an undifferentiated, tumor-like mass
of cells):
•ratio of cytokinin and auxin are important in determining
the fate of the callus (Fig)
B. Crown Gall
•tumor-like mass of undifferentiated cells that typically
occurs near the crown (junction of root and stem) of the
plant
•caused by the bacterium Agrobacterium tumefacien
15. • Agrobacterium tumefaciens carries
a plasmid (Ti plasmid; a plasmid is a
small loop of non-chromosomal
DNA) with loci/genes for auxin
production (tms), zeatin production
(tmr) and opines (are nitrogen-
containing molecules that provide
food for the bacteria).
• upon infection, the plasmid is
incorporated into the plant cell
genome which begins to
overproduce auxin and cytokinin
• stem forms an undifferentiated
tumor (crown gall)
15
16. C. Regulates the cell cycle/cell division (hence,
the name "cytokinins) – especially by controlling
the transition from G2 to mitosis.
D. Delay senescence
•senescence is the programmed aging process
that occurs in plants (and other organisms for
that matter).
•loss of chlorophyll, RNA, protein and lipids.
•cytokinin application to an intact leaf markedly
reduces the extent and rate of chlorophyll and
protein degradation and leaf drop
16
17. E. Greening
Promotes the light-induced
formation of chlorophyll
F. Promote lateral bud
development
Cytokinin application to dormant
buds will cause them to develop.
A witches’ broom is caused by a
pathogen such as the
bacterium Corynebacterium
fascians that produces cytokinin
which, in turn, causes stimulates
lateral bud development
(branching).
17
18. G. Promote cell expansion
Cytokinins stimulate the expansion of
cotyledons.
Cytokinins
6-Furfurylaminopurine (Kinetin) (K)
–6-Benzylaminopurine (BAP)
–N-Isopentenylaminopurine (2iP)
–Zeatin (Zea)
18
19. 3) Gibberellins
Discovery
Gibberellins (GAs) were first isolated from the fungus
Gibberella fujikuroi in 1926 by Japanese scientist E.
Kurosawa
G. fujikuroi causes baka’nae (foolish seedling) disease in
rice, causing
Excessive shoot elongation,
Yellowish green leaves
taller plants with absent or poorly developed grains
Frequent lodging due to long stature
19
21. Role of Gibberellins
The most characteristic effects of GA on shoot growth are
increased inter-node extension, increased leaf-growth and
enhanced apical dominance
Influence many reproductive processes
Induce formation of cones in conifers
Many forms of dormancy are broken by GA. These include seed
dormancy, dormancy of potato tubers and dormancy of shoot
internodes and buds.
Gibberellins are involved in the natural process of germination.
Before the photosynthetic apparatus develops sufficiently in the
early stages of germination, the stored energy reserves
of starch nourish the seedling.
21
22. Usually in germination, the breakdown of starch to glucose in
the endosperm begins shortly after the seed is exposed to
water. Gibberellins in the seed embryo are believed to signal
starch hydrolysis through inducing the synthesis of the
enzyme α-amylase in the aleurone cells
GA also breaks certain forms of dormancy broken in natural
conditions by exposure to low temperature (vernalization).
Retard leaf and fruit senescence
Exogenous GA application can induce flowering in species
that ordinarily require cold treatment to bloom
Some of them are isolated from both fungus and plants
22
23. Abscisic acid
ABA plays a major role in adaptation to abiotic environmental
stresses, seed development, and germination.
Synthesis
ABA is sesquiterpenoid (15 carbon) and is synthesized from C15
and C40 compounds in plants
23
24. Role of Abscisic Acid
Abscisic acid owes its names to its role in the abscission of plant
leaves.
In preparation for winter, ABA is produced in terminal buds.
This slows plant growth and directs leaf primordia to develop
scales to protect the dormant buds during the cold season.
ABA also inhibits the division of cells in the vascular cambium,
adjusting to cold conditions in the winter by suspending primary
and secondary growth.
Causes seed dormancy (inhibition of germination)
24
25. • Abscisic acid is also produced in the roots in
response to decreased soil water potential and
other situations in which the plant may be
under stress.
• ABA then translocates to the leaves, where it
rapidly alters the osmotic potential of stomatal
guard cells, causing them to shrink
and stomata to close.
• The ABA-induced stomatal closure
reduces transpiration, thus preventing further
water loss from the leaves in times of low water
availability.
25
26. Ethylene
• Ethylene is a small hydrocarbon gas.
• Ethylene is the most commercially produced
organic compound in the world and is used in many
industrial applications.
• It is also naturally occurring.
• In 1934, Gane identified that plants could
synthesise ethylene and in 1935 Crocker
proposed ethylene to be the hormone responsible
for fruit ripening and senescence of vegetative
tissues.
• Apples and pears are examples of fruit that
produce ethylene with ripening.
• Ethylene is responsible for the changes in
texture, softening, color, and other processes
involved in ripenining
26
27. • Commercial ripening rooms use "catalytic
generators" to make ethylene gas from a liquid
supply of ethanol
• During the life of the plant, ethylene
production is induced during certain stages of
growth such as germination, ripening of
fruits, abscission of leaves, and senescence of
flowers.
• Ethylene production can also be induced by a
variety of external aspects such as mechanical
wounding, environmental stresses, and certain
chemicals including auxin and other regulators.
27
28. Synthesis
Ethylene is synthesized in Plants from S-adenosyle-
L-methionine (SAM) via the inermediate 1-
aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC)
Diffuse out from the cell after its synthesis
28
30. Role of Ethylene
Ethylene induced many physiological responses like:
– Growth effects: inhibits longitudinal but promotes horizontal
growth
– Geotropic response regulation
– Apical dominance, together/downstream of auxin
– Breaks dormancy
– Gas produced by one plant will affect nearby plants
30
31. Applications of Ethylene
– There is a great interest in down-regulation of ethylene
biosynthesis as its high concentrations can trigger and
subsequently overripening in
• Banana, apples, tomatos, mangoes etc.
– Therefore two important enzymes ACC oxidase or ACC
synthase are target of antisense technology
31
32. Brassinosteroids
Discovery
Mitchell et al. reported promotion in stem elongation and cell
division by the treatment of organic extracts of rapeseed
(Brassica napus) pollen.
Brassinolide was the first isolated brassinosteroid in 1979.
A crude extract of pollen from Brassica napus induced a rapid
elongation of bean internodes that was distinct from GA
mediated stem elongation
The work lead to the isolation and identification of the first
steroidal plant growth regulator
32
33. • Brassino steroids are a group of some 40
different steroids that are synthesized by plants and
are potent hormones affecting many aspects of plant
growth.
• These hormones act synergistically, or at least
additively, with several other hormones such
as auxin and the gibberellins.
• Hardly credible report on tissue culture use
Synthesis
They are synthesized from campesterol
Structurally they are C27 – C28
33
34. Role of Barssinosteriods
• promote apical dominance
• promote leaf senescence
• enhance seed germination
• enhance gravitropism
• increase the production of ethylene
• inhibit root growth
• inhibit the formation of stomata
• promote the formation of xylem
• prevent premature abscission of fruit
• increase resistance to freezing
• increase the yield of wheat and rice
• Pollen elongation and pollen tube growth
• Reorientation of cellulose microfibrils
34
35. Polyamines
Discovery
A polyamine is an organic compound having two or more
primary amino groups–NH
Polyamines concentration correlate with cell division
frequency
They stimulate many reactions involved in the synthesis
of DNA, RNA and proteins
Polyamines are essential for all living organisms and
without the ability to synthesize polyamines, living cells
will not survive
35
36. Role of Polyamines
In plants polyamines elicit diverse physiological
responses including:
– Cell division and root initiation
– Tuber formation
– Embryogenesis
– Flower development
– Fruit ripening
Most frequently found polyamines are:
– Puterscine
– Spermidine
– Spermine
– Cadaverine
36
37. Jasmonic acid
Jasmonic acid (JA) was isolated from cultured filtrates of a
fungus as a plant growth inhibitor
Jasmonic acid (JA) is derived from the fatty acid linolenic acid.
Methyl jasmonate and cis-jasmone are well known in the perfume
industry as fragrant components of the essential oils of jasmine
Jasmonic acid shows stimulatory effect on the development of
isolated garlic buds, after two weeks of culture
37
38. Roles
• The major function of JA and its various metabolites is
regulating plant responses to abiotic and biotic stresses as well
as plant growth and development.
• Regulated plant growth and development processes include
growth inhibition, senescence, tendril coiling, flower development
and leaf abscission.
• JA is also responsible for tuber formation in potatoes, yams, and
onions.
• It has an important role in response to wounding of plants
and systemic acquired resistance.
• When plants are attacked by insects, they respond by releasing
JA, which activates the expression of protease inhibitors, among
many other anti-herbivore defense compounds.
• These protease inhibitors prevent proteolytic activity of the
insects' digestive proteases or "salivary proteins",thereby
stopping them from acquiring the needed nitrogen in
the protein for their own growth.
38
39. Salicylic acid
• Salicylic acid (SA) is a phenolic phytohormone.
• It is found in plants with roles in plant growth and
development, photosynthesis, transpiration, ion uptake and
transport.
• SA is involved in endogenous signaling, mediating in plant
defense against pathogens.
• It plays a role in the resistance to pathogens by inducing
the production of pathogenesis-related proteins.
• It is involved in the systemic acquired resistance (SAR) in
which a pathogenic attack on one part of the plant induces
resistance in other parts.
• The signal can also move to nearby plants by salicylic acid
being converted to the volatile ester, methyl salicylate.
• Tissue culture uses are not well documented
39
40. Medicinal and cosmetic uses
• Salicylic acid is known for its ability to
ease aches and pains and reduce fevers.
• Methyl salicylate is used as to soothe
joint and muscle pain.
• Choline salicylate is used topically to
relieve the pain of mouth ulcers.
• Salicylic acid is a key ingredient in many
skin-care products for the treatment of
dermatitis, acne, calluses and warts.
• Aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid), is used to
reduce fever and relieve mild to
moderate pain
40
