Hormone Binding and Signal Transduction

  • Chapter
Plant Hormones

Abstract

Communication between cells in multicellular organisms is required to regulate their differentiation and organization into tissues, to control their growth and division and to regulate their diverse activities. When the organism becomes more complex during its development, communication between its different parts requires signaling systems which operate over relatively long distances. Hormonal systems belong to such long-range communication systems. Both plants and animals make use of hormonal systems, but in higher plants, which do not possess a nervous system, long-range communication is largely dependent upon a complex hormonal system.
