Across
- 3. Rapid, pale, elongated plant growth in low-light or dark conditions, helping a shoot reach light.
- 5. acid A phytohormone that generally inhibits growth and promotes responses such as seed and bud dormancy and stomatal closure during water stress.
- 9. Directional plant growth towards or away from light.
- 10. Directional plant growth in response to water or a moisture gradient.
- 11. A phytohormone that can promote stem elongation, seed germination and flowering in some plants.
- 13. A plant chemical messenger that coordinates growth, development and responses to environmental stimuli; examples include auxin and abscisic acid.
- 15. Directional plant growth in response to touch or physical contact.
Down
- 1. Phytohormones that promote cell division and influence growth and differentiation.
- 2. A plant movement whose direction is independent of the direction of the stimulus; it may result from differential growth or changes in turgor.
- 4. A phytohormone that promotes cell elongation and helps control directional growth responses, including phototropism and gravitropism.
- 6. Directional plant growth towards or away from a chemical stimulus.
- 7. A directional growth response of a plant towards a stimulus (positive) or away from it (negative).
- 8. Directional plant growth in response to gravity.
- 12. A gaseous phytohormone involved in processes including fruit ripening, leaf abscission and some stress responses.
- 14. A non-directional plant movement triggered by touch or vibration.
