Some fruit trees have strong apical dominance, and young trees can become "leggy", with poor side limb development. (wikipedia.org)
Occasionally, strong apical dominance is advantageous, as in the "Ballerina" apple trees. (wikipedia.org)
These trees are intended to be grown in small gardens, and their strong apical dominance combined with a dwarfing rootstock gives a compact narrow tree with very short fruiting side branches. (wikipedia.org)
For a plant with strong apical dominance, many or most of the axillary buds found on the main stem remain in their inactive (Iax) form for most or all of the growing season. (qubs.ca)
Buds16
Plant physiology describes apical dominance as the control exerted by the terminal bud (and shoot apex) over the outgrowth of lateral buds. (wikipedia.org)
Apical dominance occurs when the shoot apex inhibits the growth of lateral buds so that the plant may grow vertically. (wikipedia.org)
The apical bud produces a plant hormone, auxin, (IAA) that inhibits growth of the lateral buds further down on the stem towards the axillary bud. (wikipedia.org)
When the apical bud is removed, the lowered IAA concentration allows the lateral buds to grow and produce new shoots, which compete to become the lead growth. (wikipedia.org)
Once the apical dominance has been lifted from the plant, elongation and lateral growth is promoted and the lateral buds grow into new branches. (wikipedia.org)
Apical dominance can be reduced in this case, or in cases where limbs are broken off by accident, by cutting off the auxin flow above side buds that one wishes to stimulate. (wikipedia.org)
Since a growing stem is a strong sink for sugars, and sugar is indispensable for shoot branching, the indirect theory of apical dominance might now be explained as auxin-induced stem growth inhibits bud outgrowth by diverting sugars away from buds. (frontiersin.org)
Detailed study of the indirect theory and the effect of source-sink status on dormancy and outgrowth of axillary buds will advance our knowledge of apical dominance and shoot branching in plants. (frontiersin.org)
The direct theory explains apical dominance as auxin synthesized in the shoot apex moves down the stem into buds and inhibits their growth. (frontiersin.org)
The second, diversion, theory of the 1930s explains the phenomenon of apical dominance as auxin from the shoot apex prevents growth promoting factors synthesized in roots and cotyledons from entering into buds and stimulate bud outgrowth. (frontiersin.org)
This bud produces auxins that suppress growth from any other (axillary) buds lower down on the stem, in a process called apical dominance. (rhs.org.uk)
So, if the apical bud is removed, axillary buds are stimulated into growth. (rhs.org.uk)
In contrast to susceptible biotypes, both apical and basal lateral buds on HRd plants elongated after decapitation, although differences between HRd and susceptible biotypes became smaller during succeeding weeks. (bioone.org)

Auxin transport2
The direct and diversion theories of apical dominance have been investigated in detail, and they are replaced with the current auxin transport canalization and second messenger theories, respectively. (frontiersin.org)
However, the direct theory of the 1930s has some similarity to one of the two current models of apical dominance known as the auxin transport canalization (reviewed in Domagalska and Leyser, 2011 ). (frontiersin.org)
Meristem4
More simply stated, lateral bud formation is inhibited by the shoot apical meristem (SAM). (wikipedia.org)
In ( c ) an Iax has developed as a growth (G) meristem, producing a lateral leaf-bearing branch/shoot, thus promoting biomass accumulation and supporting three additional Iax meristems, and one terminal inactive shoot apical meristem (Iap) (red circles). (qubs.ca)
The final hypothesis-the Reserve Meristem hypothesis-proposes that the benefit of apical dominance lies in its effects on delaying release of axillary meristems from their inactive state (i.e. prolonging their Iax status), thus making them available (in reserve) for deployment should the plant experience apical herbivory ( Aarssen 1995 ), and therefore enabling compensatory branch production for the afflicted plant ( Lortie and Aarssen 2000a ). (qubs.ca)
Synthesis is in the young developing leaves of the shoot tip and just below the apical meristem. (tamu.edu)
Inhibits2
Although there is ample evidence that the inhibition of bud outgrowth by auxin from the shoot apex is linked to stem elongation and highly branched auxin biosynthesis or signaling mutants are dwarf, the third theory proposed in the 1930s, the indirect theory, that explains apical dominance as auxin-induced stem growth indirectly inhibits bud outgrowth has been overlooked. (frontiersin.org)
Soon after the discovery that the apical signal that inhibits axillary bud outgrowth is the plant hormone auxin ( Thimann and Skoog, 1933 ), three theories - direct, diversion, and indirect (Figure 1 ) - were proposed to explain the phenomenon of apical dominance (reviewed in Snow, 1937 ). (frontiersin.org)
Plants5
In this video we will study the Apical Dominance in Plants. (robolab.in)
In most plants, growth happens at the terminal (apical) bud at the tip of their stems. (rhs.org.uk)
In this video, Jason discusses what Apical Dominance refers to on plants and how you can apply it to working on your bonsai trees. (easternleaf.com)
Injured plants can exhibit twisting (epinasty), leaf cupping, and loss of apical dominance, resulting in short plants and abnormal side shoots. (omegafields.com)
For example in plants , apical dominance refers to the condition in which vertical growth supersedes lateral growth . (biologyonline.com)
Inhibition2
The four stages are referred to as lateral bud formation, "imposition of inhibition" (apical dominance), initiation of lateral bud outgrowth following decapitation, and elongation and development of the lateral bud into a branch. (wikipedia.org)
determined by correlative inhibition of apical bud, high auxin produced by shoot tip. (tamu.edu)
Lateral dominance3
When lateral bud formation prevents the plant from growing upward, it is undergoing lateral dominance. (wikipedia.org)
Often, lateral dominance can be triggered by decapitating the SAM or artificially decreasing the concentration of auxin in plant tissues. (wikipedia.org)
For instance, the consistent use of one side of the body, as in being left-handed or right-handed, and left-brained or right-brained (depending on which side of his brain is dominant or frequently used) is demonstrated as lateral dominance. (biologyonline.com)
Decapitation1
Rates of shoot and root gravitropic response and patterns of apical dominance, as determined by lateral bud sprouting after decapitation, were determined in the absence of herbicide treatment. (bioone.org)
Allele3
Overexpression/activation tagged allele has epinastic leaves, reduced apical dominance and is sterile. (or.jp)
In genetics, dominance pertains to the property of a gene (or allele) in relation to other genes or alleles. (biologyonline.com)
A gene or allele shows dominance when it suppresses the expression , or dominates the effects, of the recessive gene (or allele ). (biologyonline.com)
Gravitropism2

Adaptive2
Apical dominance is therefore most likely adaptive. (wikipedia.org)
The benefit (adaptive advantage) of apical dominance may involve several interpretations ( Aarssen 1995 ). (qubs.ca)
Plant3
Referred to as apical dominance, this directional growth form 'strategy' is enabled by effects of the plant hormone auxin on suppression of the main stem's 'bud bank' ( Cline 1994 ). (qubs.ca)
Apical dominance may have several fitness advantages for the plant, but these may also be associated with trade-off costs. (qubs.ca)
It is most often defined as a woody plant that has many secondary branches supported clear of the ground on a single main stem or trunk with clear apical dominance. (txmn.org)

Outgrowth2
Three theories of apical dominance, direct, diversion, and indirect, were proposed in the 1930s to explain how auxin synthesized in the shoot apex might inhibit axillary bud outgrowth, and thus shoot branching. (frontiersin.org)
In some species, bud outgrowth is inhibited by signals from the apex of the main shoot, a phenomenon known as apical dominance. (frontiersin.org)
Phenomenon1
