BIOMOLECULES AND ENZYMES

Detailed explanation-1: -Cytokinins are produced mainly in meristematic tissue, where most plant growth occurs. Which system carries cytokinins produced in the roots to the rest of the plant? Q. Plants called sundews have rounded green leaves with many hair-like structures.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cytokinins are essential plant hormones. By stimulating cell division, they regulate shoot meristem size, leaf primordia number, and leaf and shoot growth. They can stimulate both the differentiation and the outgrowth of axillary buds. The cytokinins can mediate axillary bud release from apical dominance.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cytokinins are synthesized in the roots and are usually derived from adenine. They move upward in the xylem (woody tissue) and pass into the leaves and fruits, where they are required for normal growth and cell differentiation.

Detailed explanation-4: -Auxin promotes cell division and meristem maintenance and also plays an important role in the establishment of cellular patterning. Plant development thus integrates the regulation of cell proliferation and growth with further cell expansion and differentiation.

Detailed explanation-5: -Phloem-transported cytokinin regulates polar auxin transport and maintains vascular pattern in the root meristem.
