Document Summary

An input can be environmental, herbivory, excess sunlight, drought. Inputs/signals lead to synthesis of phytohormones: signals are transported and received at the target tissue"s receptor. Signal transduction is where the hormones differ in how they function. Cellular response: typically repression or activation of gene expression. Increase amount of hormone: biosynthesis, activation, release from internal stores, uptake. Decrease amount of hormone: degradation, inactivation/conjugation, sequestration, efflux. Amount of active hormone is a balance of the two. Long distance transport: generally via vasculature (xylem which only flows from bottom to top + phloem), example: cytokinins, gibberellins, aba, sa: but also via specific transporters: polar transport of auxin. Plant to plant via gas phase: me-jasmonate, ethyle. Asymmetric distribution of transporters that bring auxins into the cell vs. transporters that export it out of the cell. Auxin import: h+ gradient, h+/auxin symport (aux1) Auxin export: auxin efflux carriers (pin1), negative membrane potential drives export. Asymmetric distribution of aux1 and pin1 provides direction of auxin transport.
