do auxins promote cell elongation?
240066
Auxins promote stem elongation, inhibit growth of lateral buds (maintains apical dominance). They are produced in the stem, buds, and root tips. Example: Indole Acetic Acid (IA). Auxin is a plant hormone produced in the stem tip that promotes cell elongation.

Auxins (plural of auxin /ˈɔːksɪn/) are a class of plant hormones (or plant-growth regulators) with some morphogen-like characteristics. Auxins play a cardinal role in coordination of many growth and behavioral processes in plant life cycles and are essential for plant body development.

1 Introduction. Plant cell lines represent a unique model for the study of the basic processes of plant morphogenesis, that is, cell division, growth and development, including intracellular functional and structural differentiation, as well as shape changes of cells and their aggregates.

Plant and animal cells both undergo mitotic cell divisions. Their main difference is how they form the daughter cells during cytokinesis. During that's stage, animal cells form furrow or cleavage that gives way to formation of daughter cells. Due to the existence of the rigid cell wall, plant cells don't form furrows.

Xylem transports water and dissolved materials from the roots upwards. Phloem transports materials down from the leaves. Primary growth results in the increase in length of the primary plant body. Primary growth occurs at the apical meristem (a meristem located at the tip of a stem).

Cytokinins (CK) are a class of plant growth substances (phytohormones) that promote cell division, or cytokinesis, in plant roots and shoots. They are involved primarily in cell growth and differentiation, but also affect apical dominance, axillary bud growth, and leaf senescence.

Plant and animal hormones. The nervous system and hormones are used to control and coordinate the body. A plant tropism is a growth in response to a stimulus. Auxins are plant hormones that control the direction of growth.

What is the difference between an auxotroph and a prototroph? An auxotroph requires an organic growth factor, but a prototroph does not because it can synthesize all the organic growth factors it needs.

During Prometaphase, the pre-prophase band of plant cells disappears. In Cytokinesis, the contractile ring in animal cells contracts and pinches the cell into 2 daughter cells. In plants, the phragmoplast extends and forms the cell wall. In plants, mitosis occurs only in the meristem tissues.

In multicellular organisms, cell division aids in the formation of gametes, which are cells that combine with others to form sexually produced offspring. For growth to occur in living organisms, the number of cells have to increase through cell division until it reaches its maximum size.

How is auxin used in tea plantation and hedge making? Auxin is a plant hormone produced in the stem tip that promotes cell elongation. Auxin moves to the darker side of the plant, causing the cells there to grow larger than corresponding cells on the lighter side of the plant. ... Auxin maintains this dormancy.

The most characteristic effects of GA on shoot growth are increased inter‐node extension, increased leaf‐growth and enhanced apical dominance. Under some circumstances, with some plant species, treatment with GA does not stimulate growth of intact roots, though some root sections do respond by increased growth.

Cell growth refers to the increase in cell size (mass accumulation) while cell division describes the division of a mother cell into two daughter cells (1->2->4->8, etc.). Cell proliferation is the process of generating an increased number of cells through cell division.

Microfilaments 50–60 Å in diameter occur commonly in many elongating cells in stems and roots of twelve species of plants investigated. The microfilaments occur in bundles as cytoplasmic fibers in the peripheral regions of an elongating cell and are usually oriented parallel to the longitudinal axis of the cell.

Plant cells have walls, so cytokinesis cannot proceed with a cleavage furrow. Instead, during telophase a cell plate forms across the cell in the location of the old metaphase plate. ... A new cell wall forms between the two membranes of the cell plate.

More cytokinin induces growth of shoot buds, while more auxin induces root formation. Cytokinins are involved in many plant processes, including cell division and shoot and root morphogenesis. They are known to regulate axillary bud growth and apical dominance.

Cytokinins. The cytokinin hormones promote cell division and tissue growth, and depend upon the presence of auxins to determine the extent of their activity. When the ratio of cytokinins to auxins is relatively high, stem and leaf growth is stimulated.
