A Dynamic Model for Phytohormone Control of Rhizome Growth and Development

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Phytochemicals, Plant Growth, and the Environment

Part of the book series: Recent Advances in Phytochemistry ((RAPT,volume 42))

Abstract

Despite the economic and medicinal importance of plant rhizomes, the biology of rhizomes has received only cursory attention in recent years. We review the existing literature on rhizome growth, development, and function and discuss outstanding questions that may benefit from application of new technologies such as next-generation sequencing, detailed metabolite profiling, and proteomics. In addition, we outline a new model of the environmental and phytohormone control of rhizome apical dominance and shooting and discuss how this model is followed in different rhizomatous species. The relationship between source carbon availability and specific phytohormones with regard to control of apical dominance is discussed.
