    Plants respond to environmental stimuli through various tropisms and hormones. Tropisms include positive tropism of growth towards a stimulus, negative tropism of growth away from a stimulus, phototropism of responding to light, heliotropism of tracking the sun's direction, gravitropism of responding to gravity, and thigmotropism of responding to touch. Key plant hormones are auxin which promotes plasticity, gibberellins which affect gravitropism and growth, cytokinins which delay senescence, ethylene which stimulates fruit ripening, and abscisic acid which responds to cold, light, and dehydration.

    Plant Hormones
    Auxin
    - “to grow”
    - Promotes plasticity of plant cell walls
    Plant Hormones
    Gibberellins (GAs)
    - Affect plant growth in response to gravitropism
    - Help plants in:
    seed germination
    fruit and flower maturation
    production of bigger fruit
    Plant Hormones
    Cytokinins
    - They are responsible for delaying the
    senescence in plant leaves and promoting
    the differentiation of meristems in shoots
    and roots.
    Plant Hormones
    Ethylene
    - Stimulate the ripening of fruit by converting
    starch and acids to sugar.
    Plant Hormones
    Abscisic acid
    - A response to environmental conditions,
    such as cold temperature, shorter day
    length or dehydration.
