Plant Responses

3. Flowers regardless of day length
5. Movement in response to a stimulus but is independent of the location of the stimulus
7. Also known as heliotropism; The motion of leaves or follows following the sun's movement across the sky
10. Produced in small quantities by the plant that causes them to grow abnormally tall
13. (NAA)Synthetic auxin used to promote root formation on stem and leaf cuttings
14. Response of a plant to grow either away or towards a light source.
16. Hormones involved in plant-cell elongation, shoot and bud growth, and rooting
20. Plants growth in response to gravity
23. Promote cell division in plants
24. Nastic movement in response to touching a plant
26. (IAA)Natural auxin that stimulates development of fleshy fruit
30. Synthetic hormone used to help ripen fruits by breaking down into ethylene gas
31. Detachment of leaves, flowers, and fruits

1. Low-temperature stimulation of flowering
2. Plant's response to changes in length of days and nights
4. Hormones stimulating or inhibiting plant growth
6. Plant's growth response to touching a solid object
8. Mixture of 2,4-D and another auxin used to defoliate jungles during the Vietnam War
9. Inhibition of lateral buds due to the presence of a shoot tip nearby
11. Chemical messengers that affect a plant's ability to respond to the environment
12. Plant growth in response to a chemical
15. (ABA) Inhibits other hormones (like IAA) and helps to keep plant in dormancy
17. Flowers when days are longer/nights are shorter
18. Response of a plant to grow either away or towards an environmental stimulus
19. A bluish, light-sensitive pigment that monitors changes in day length
21. Ripens fruits
22. Rapid elongation of stems during spring
25. Occurs when nights become longer and plants no longer produces chlorophyll
27. Response to daily light/dark cycles
28. Plants that only live for two years and produce flowers/seeds in second year
