Chapter 46.2, Problem 3TC
Summary Introduction

To determine:

The response of the lateral buds if an individual removed a plant’s shoot apical meristem and applied auxin to the cut surface.

Introduction:

The size of the shoot and root systems of plants must be in balance so as the roots grow, the shoots also grow enough to support the plant. Auxin produced by apical meristem of shoot and Cytokinin by apical meristem of roots promote this balance.

Summary Introduction

To explain:

The response of the lateral buds if an individual removed a plant’s shoot apical meristem and applied auxin to the cut surface.

Introduction:

The plant hormones also called as phytohormones are chemical substances secreted by specific cells that regulate the growth of plants. Various plant hormones influence many aspect of life cycle of plant by altering the expression of gene.

Students have asked these similar questions
If you removed a plant’s shoot apicalcmeristem and applied auxin to the cut surface, how would youcexpect the lateral buds to respond? Why?
What causes polar movement of auxinfrom shoot tip to base?
Plant cells communicate in a variety of ways to elicit cellular responses. In the figure below the plant is responding the presence of light with the release of auxin. Auxin was first discovered for its ability to promote growth in plants. It is a plant hormone that inhibits the lengthening and stimulate the formation of lateral roots and root hairs.  (b) Explain the role that auxin has in eliciting the plant’s response.
