QUESTIONS LIST: auxin: hormone that is involved in root development embryo development and apical dominance, giberrelins: the hormone involved in germination flowering and internode elongation, kinase: enzyme that functions by adding a phosphate group (phosphorylation), abscisic acid: the hormone that promotes seed dormancy and functions in response to drought, cytokinin: hormone that is involved in cell signaling branching and shoot development, trophism: growth of the plant in a particular direction in response to an external stimuli, meristem: region of on-going division and growth involved in vegetative growth, jasmonic acid: the hormone that is involved in response to herbivory and pathogen defenses, cell signaling: sequence of events involved in eliciting a response from a signal, ethylene: this hormone is involved in fruit ripening senescence and responding to pathogens, florigen: signal that transmits photoperiodic info from leaves to the shoot apical meristem for flowering, suspensor: the basal part of the embryo that provides attachment between the embryo and mother plant, cross talk: the interaction between multiple hormones and signaling components, polarity: position-dependent mechanisms governing growth and development, flowering: this stage of development marks the transition from vegetative to reproductive growth, centralzone: the area of the shoot apical meristem where cells divide slowly or not at all, hormone: chemical messenger involved in cell signaling growth and development and stress response.
