De-Etiolation and Plant Hormones

  • Chapter
Hormonal Regulation of Development III

Part of the book series: Encyclopedia of Plant Physiology ((PLANT,volume 11))

Abstract

Light, perceived and transduced by a number of photoreceptors, is known to regulate or modify many aspects of plant growth and development. Beginning with seed germination and ending with fruiting and senescence, light can regulate processes which can also be modified by plant hormones. This has been taken as circumstantial evidence that light may be exerting its influence via plant hormones, and considerable research effort has been directed toward elucidating the role of plant hormones in light-mediated processes. The two areas of light and plant hormone research that have received the most attention are de-etiolation and photoperiodism (see Vince-Prue, Chap. 9 this Vol.). While the emphasis, by necessity, of this chapter is on plant hormones in de-etiolation, we include relevant work on other aspects of photomorphogenesis and plant hormones.

In this chapter the term “hormone” is used as a convenient operational expression, equivalent to “plant-growth regulator”, but without implying any assumptions as to function.
