The hormonal regulation of bud outgrowth in Phaseolus vulgaris L

Abstract:
Aqueous solutions of indole acetic acid, kinetin, gibberellic acid and abscisic acid were applied singly and in combination to the decapitated stem stump of Phaseolus seedlings. Application of indole acetic acid will not completely replace the intact stem apex with regard to the inhibition of lateral bud extension. The greatest inhibition of bud growth is obtained when indole acetic acid is applied in combination with both kinetin and abscisic acid. Treatment with gibberellic acid causes massive bud growth even in the presence of indole acetic acid, kinetin and abscisic acid. Although both abscisic acid and kinetin have only a slight promoting effect on bud outgrowth when applied singly, these hormones will modify the effects of indole acetic acid and gibberellic acid.

Synthesis and Regulation of Thyroid Hormones
Upon reaching the thyroid gland, TSH stimulates the follicular cells' active uptake of iodide ions from the blood. The ions diffuse to the apical surface of the cells and are oxidized to iodine. The...
Hormonal Regulation of the Menstrual Cycle
At puberty, GnRH begins a pulsatile release pattern, which triggers the anterior pituitary gland to secrete follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH). The frequency and amplitude of GnRH pulses vary across the menstrual cycle, with faster pulses favoring LH release and slower pulses favoring FSH...

Epinephrine and Norepinephrine
The adrenal medulla releases epinephrine and norepinephrine, catecholamines that enhance and extend the sympathetic or "fight or flight" physiological response. These hormones escalate heart rate and the force of contraction...
