GENERAL DESCRIPTION & APPLICATIONS |
||
Glyphosine is a white to off-white powder with melting point 185 C; soluble in
water. It is used as a growth regulator to augment sugar content. Though each plant hormone evokes many different specific
biochemical, physiological, or morphological responses, the effects of different
hormones overlap and may be stimulatory or inhibitory to regulate plant
development and growth. Glyphosine tends to disrupt various aspects of plant
growth to develop fruits and augment sugar content.
Accordingly, it can be classified as the growth retardants,
which can be sub-classified as gibberellin biosynthesis inhibitors or compounds which are not involved in
inhibiting gibberellin biosynthesis. [abscisic acid, cimetacarb, daminozide,
dikegulac, maleic hydrazide, mefluidide, and morphologically active
substances (morphactins: chlorfluren, chlorflurenol, dichlorflurenol,
flurenol)].
Some commercial growth retardants are;

GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF PLANT HORMONE |
||
Auxin is one of
five (or more) major plant hormones (Auxin, Cytokinins, Gibberellins, Ethylene
and Abscisic acid) which affect numerous plant growth processes functions
including cell division and elongation, autumnal loss of leaves, and the
formation of buds, roots, flowers, and fruit. Auxin action is inhibited by
light which is an important role of the growth of stems toward light
(phototropism), against the force of gravity (geotropism) and positively
hydrotropic (moisture-seeking). The cells exposed to light don't grow as quickly
as those on the shaded side, and thus the plant grows toward the light source.
Auxins usually have a ring system with at least one double bond and attached by
a side-chain that terminates in a carboxyl group. Indole acetic acid is the
exact structure of Auxin activity. Parent compounds of auxin action are;
Cytokinin is a N6-substituted adenines acting as phytohormones such as kinetin, zeatin, 6-isopentenyladenine, benzyl adenine. The principal functions are stimulate cell division in concert with auxin (cytokinesis) and influence the pathway of tissue differentiation (organogenesis). 6-Benzylaminopurine is the first generation synthetic cytokinin which elicits plant growth and development responses setting blossoms and stimulating fruit richness by stimulating cell division. Active cytokinin ingredients include:
