Hormonal Control of Protein Synthesis in Plants

  • Chapter
Hormonal Regulation of Plant Growth and Development

Part of the book series: Advances in Agricultural Biotechnology ((AABI,volume 21))

Abstract

Proteins are essential components of protoplasm, playing a key role in its structure and metabolism (enzymes). The increase in the amount of proteins is the basis of growth phenomena, and the differentiation of the living body is closely related to the differentiation of the protein composition of its cells, tissues and organs (Bonner, 1965). The control of the protein synthesis is therefore a key problem in the development of living beings. In plants, many factors, endogenous and exogenous, are known to be involved in this control. Hormones belong to the more important endogenous factors affecting protein metabolism, to the extent that mechanism of hormone action has been generally assumed to be connected mostly with the control of protein synthesis.
