Anyway...I need help on Auxins..
Tell me about them..and also..Where do they grow towards. I always thought they grew towards light.. but then in a past paper they said they grew away from light. Now also, in a past paper it also says that too many auxins will kill a plant.
Auxins are negatively phototrophic.. They hate light.. So think of it like darth vader.. bear with me on this one.. Auxins accumulate on the "DARK SIDE" of the shoot.. As you know.. auxins are growth hormones that the plant secretes(can i use tat word) so accumulation on only one side of the plant the "DARK SIDE" will cause one sided growth.. The "DARK SIDE" of the plant grows more than the one exposed to light.. This causes one sided growth making the dark side grow more n longer causing it to bend towards the light...
whereas for geotropism.. Auxins are positively geotrophic.. Auxins will collect on the lower sides of the shoot tip and root tip due to gravity..
A high concentration of ausxins in the shoot stimulates one sided growth so it grows upwards towards the sky showing negative geotropism..
The auxins on the root collect on the lower side but they do not promote cell elongation.. they actually inhibit cell elongation so the upper side of the root grows longer than the lower side causing the root tip to bend downwards.. this shows positive geotropism in roots..
please do correct me if im wrong.. I dont wanna be giving out misleading information
