Plant Hormone Signal transduction pathway Talk Outline General introduction to cell signaling transduction pathways in plant. Different plant hormones and their physiological function in plants. Comparison between plant hormones and animal hormones action. Ways or approaches in studying plant hormone signaling transduction pathways. Molecular mechanism of various plant hormone signal transduction pathways (a) ubiquitin-dependent protein degradation (negative regulator) (b) tow component system (phospho-relay). Definition of plant hormone The word hormone is derived from the Greek verb meaning to excite. hormones are organic substances synthesized in one tissue and transported out where their presence results in physiological responses ( not always true; may act at or close to synthesis site). They are required in minute amounts (10-6 to 10 -8M). 3. Each hormone may result in multiple effects -- the particular effect depending on a number of factors: (a) the presence of other hormones and the presence of activator molecules ( calcium, sugars) (b) the amount of the hormone (dosage or concentration) (c) the sensitivity of that tissue to the hormone. (d) the condition of the plant itself is critical: what is the condition of the plant? its age?
