1 PLANT HORMONES-Introduction By convention hormone are said to be a substances whose site of synthesis and site of action are different; the two events are separated by space and time. Hormones are known to elicit specific responses. Charles Darwin first demonstrated the existence of such substances in plants. Who in his own inimitable way explained growth of plant tips, respond to light and exhibits photo induced curvature movements. Since then botanists all over the world made studies in unraveling the mysteries of diffusible substances called hormones which control growth and development of the plant body. DISCOVERY OF PLANT HORMONES Darwin used canary grass coleoptile tips to demonstrate the sensitiveness of the stem apex to light mediated curvature movements. Later Boysen Jensen used Avena coleoptile tips to demonstrate the presence of plant hormones. A gelatin block was placed on the decapitated coleoptile tip, then the tip was replaced over the gelatin block and the tip was illuminated from one direction. In response to light, the stem tip bent towards the light source. This was explained as due to the downward movement of some substance from the tip through gelatin block down wards. And the substance was considered as the cause for growth curvature.
2 Paal.A, on he other hand, placed the cut coleoptile tip asymmetrically over the decapitated coleoptile segments and placed the seedlings in tip dark. After few hours, he observed the curvature of the stem tip away from the side at which apical tip was placed. Pal s experiment further demonstrated the presence of some kind of growth promoting substances in coleoptile tip, from which the substance was able to diffuse and bring about growth on one side hence the curvature. What ones people called diffusible substances have be restated as transportable substances for there are carriers in the cell membranes which do the role. These are carriers specific. F.W. Went collected growth promoting substances by placing the coleoptile tips on the square agar blocks. By placing such loaded agar blocks asymmetrically on the decapitated coleoptile tips in dark, showed the growth curvature movements. Persuing the above methods he established quantitative bioassays. The bioassays explain and correlate quantitative relationship between the amount of hormone applied and the magnitude curvature as a response.
3 It is at this juncture of time biologists and chemists started identifying the chemical component that is responsible for growth promoting activity. To their surprise, they found the human urine as a rich source for the said hormone. Kogl and Haagen Smit starting with 33 gallons of urine, extracted 40 mg of the active principle in the form of crystalline powder which showed 50,000 fold grater activity. First they called this substance as Auxin A. Using the same extraction procedures they isolated another active substance from corn germ oil and called it as Auxin B. Not satisfied with their purification methods, they used charcoal adsorption column chromatographic procedures
4
5 for isolating a pure form of growth substance. The substances obtained from this method were called Heteroauxin. Later heteroauxin was identified as Indole Acetic Acid. But this substance was known as a chemical to them for it was already identified by E & H Salkowaski. However, Salkowski s did not know about the property of IAA as growth hormone. The discovery of Indole acetic acid as the plant growth hormone gave impetus to plant physiologists. As a result, new hormones were discovered from different plant sources. Their site of synthesis, chemical structure, site of action and their physiological and morphological effects have been studied in detail. So far, five phytohormones have been identified from different parts of the plant body; most importantly all the hormones can be detected in the same plants. They are Indole Acetic Acid (IAA), Gibberellic acid or Gibberellins (GA), cytokinin, Abscisic acid (Abscissin or ABA) and Ethylene. Simultaneously a host of synthetic compounds have been developed which stimulate plant hormones in many respects. The figure below shows each hormone synthesis pathway.
6 PHYTOHEROMONES and PLANTS RESPONSES Investigation on the effects of hormones on plants has revealed that the hormones elicit a wide array of responses in different types of tissues in the same plant body. Physiologists have realized that the responses to the hormonal treatments depend upon the kind of tissue and the physiological state of the tissue. For example, in a developing stem segment, in response to GA3, the internodes elongate considerably but the same hormone in maize grains elicit the synthesis of alfa amylase enzymes is aleurone cells. Thus the specific response to a particular hormone depends upon the inbuilt potentiality of the said tissues; this behavior is because of its previous developmental programmes. It should also be remembered that the specialized hormones found in animal systems have no counterparts in plants
7 with respect to the target cells and specific functions. The auxin which induces the growth in one part of the plant body, fails to bring about the same effect in the other part, but it may have different effects like apical dominance, new root formation or parthenocarpy, etc, at different site. While GA is known to bring about the gene activation in aleurone cells leading to the synthesis of alfa amylase, the same hormone acts on rosette shaped Hyoscyamus plant and induces bolting and flowering. But in pea plants, it overcomes genetic dwarfism. The above observations suggest that each and every phytohormone elicit more than one response in the same plant body but at different sites. Furthermore as all hormones are synthesized at different sites within the same plant body the said hormones interact with each other and control the growth and development. HORMONAL INTERPLAY Although Haberlandt considered the tissue and organ culture under sterile conditions as a theoretical possibility, Kattle in Germany and Robbin in USA have succeeded in developing methods to culture tissues in a defined media. With the advent of tissue culture techniques, studies on experimental morphogenesis progressed in leaps and bounds in the past 45 years or so. Using tissue culture methods, it is possible to treat the tissue with one or the other hormone at will. Use of phytohormones in tissue cultures, have
8 revealed that though a single hormones has a specific effect, two or more hormones together at different concentrations, elicit different responses in tissue from. In the presence of two different hormones, the effects may be promotive, synergistic or antagonistic where one may modify the activity of the other. Such reactions are referred to as Hormonal interplay. Callus tissue can be grown from tobacco pith cells and the same can be maintained in a defined nutrient medium in the presence of both IAA and cytokinins at particular concentrations. The same callus can be induced for organogenesis by changing the relative concentrations of IAA to that of cytokinins. In the presence of higher amounts of auxin to cytokinins, callus generates roots. On the contrary if the concentration of cytokinin is higher in relation to auxins, the callus cells produce shoots only. If the
9 concentration of the two said hormones is balanced, the callus induces the formation of both roots and shoots. The above mentioned observations suggest that the hormonal interplay has a significant role in organogenesis. Similarly, GA3 promotes callus growth but the same hormone inhibits auxin-cytokinin induced shoot formation. The above said hormonal effects are not just direct effects, but they also influence the levels of other hormones either by activating the synthesis of a particular hormone or by inhibiting the synthesis of it. Various studies on hormonal effects show that the endogenous levels of auxin in plant tissues is elevated by the applications of GA, Cytokinins or both. While auxin induces the synthesis of ethylene which in turn induces the formation of ABA, which on the contrary enhances the levels of ethylene? Thus, they show both cooperative and promotive effects on each other. It is also known that ethylene and ABA together bring down the levels of the auxin. This effect can be overcome by the addition of cytokinins, for cytokinins are capable of bringing down the levels of ABA through the increased levels of GA biosynthesis. The close relationship and interplay between GA, auxins, cytokinins, ABA and ethylene, exhibits an excellent feedback control mechanism. However, understanding of hormonal interaction at the level of gene expression and their product is very important in interpreting the hormonal interplay and effects.
