Plant Physiology Crossword Puzzle

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.
