It was observed during the early 20th century that the abscission zone of leaves of tree growing close to gas burning street lamps weakened (entered the abscission phase) earlier than trees located further away from the lamps. Experiments showed that weakening of the abscission zone was not caused by either the lamp's light or heat. Instead the research on this phenomenon led to the discovery of a new gaseous plant hormone. What is this hormone? Ethylene Abscisic acid (ABA) Gibberellins Auxin Strigolactone Cytokinin

Hormones and signal pathways Complete the following paragraph to describe signal transduction as it occurs within plants. Choices may be used more than once or not at all. Chemical signals called play an important role in a plant's ability to respond to a stimulus. These signals bind to receptors, the first step in a cellular response called a may be located in the plasma membrane, the cytoplasm, the nucleus, or the endoplasmic reticulum. The series of relay proteins or enzymes activated by the hormone binding the receptor make up the Some responses are immediate, while others require a like Ca*, to initiate a cellular response. The result of the transduction pathway is a which is often the transcription of specific genes, resulting in some measurable change. hormones reflex arc signal transduction pathway Signal transducers second messenger response Receptor proteins first messenger
