9.3: Chemical control in plants

#9.3i

Understand that chemical control in plants is brought about by plant growth substances such as auxins, cytokinins and gibberellins.

#9.3ii

Know that auxin has several effects, including cell elongation, suppression of lateral buds (apical dominance) and promoting root growth.

#9.3iii

Understand that plant growth substances often interact with each other as shown by the antagonistic actions of cytokinin and auxin on apical dominance.

#9.3iv

Understand how phytochrome controls flowering and photomorphogenesis.
