Question

Prepare a note on the advantages and disadvantages of artificial plant hormones

Answer 1

Explanation:

Advantage:

• They are produced by the plant naturally to encourage, for example, extending roots, or growing taller.
• Synthetic auxins can either be copies of the natural molecules or entirely man-made molecules that do the same or similar things.
• One example of a synthetic auxin is . In some applications, at lower concentrations, this molecule can cause a plant cell from a part of the plant to grow as if it were a seed.
• . In higher concentrations, it kills plants by causing uncontrolled growth, and can be used as a herbicide to kill weeds.
• .The obvious advantage of using synthetic plant “hormones” is you can control how and when and where they grow.

Disadvantage:

• On the other hand, the disadvantage of one of the pgr I,e ethylene gas or carbide is if given to crops too much and uncontrollably, fruits will not only ripen faster but also rot faster.
• Plants are continuously exposed to a myriad of external signals such as fluctuating nutrients availability,

1. drought,
2. heat,/cold,
3. high salinity,
4. or pathogen/pest attacks that can severely affect their development,
5. growth, and fertility.

Answer 2

Prepare a note on the advantages and disadvantages of artificial plant hormones.

Advantages of artificial plant hormones :

They are produced by the plant naturally to encourage, for example, extending roots, or growing taller.

Synthetic auxins can either be copies of the natural molecules or entirely man-made molecules that do the same or similar things. One example of a synthetic auxin is . In some applications, at lower concentrations, this molecule can cause a plant cell from a part of the plant to grow as if it were a seed.

In higher concentrations, it kills plants by causing uncontrolled growth, and can be used as a herbicide to kill weeds.

The obvious advantage of using synthetic plant “hormones” is you can control how and when and where they grow.

Disadvantage of artificial plant hormones :

On the other hand, the disadvantage of one of the pgr I,e ethylene gas or carbide is if given to crops too much and uncontrollably, fruits will not only ripen faster but also rot faster.

Plants are continuously exposed to a myriad of external signals such as fluctuating nutrients availability, drought, heat,/cold, high salinity,  or pathogen/pest attacks that can severely affect their development,

growth, and fertility.
