How to use these mnemonics: Read each acronym device aloud, then trace through the letter-by-letter expansion below it. Visualise the linked concepts. Test yourself by covering the expansion and recalling from the device alone.

All 6 Mnemonics for Plant Growth & Development

1. Auxin, Gibberellin, Cytokinin promote growth; ABA inhibits; ethylene does both (ripening + inhibition).

Mnemonic Device
Promoters = "A-G-C"
PGR groups

2. Auxin → apical dominance & rooting; gibberellin → bolting/elongation; cytokinin → cell division & delays senescence.

Mnemonic Device
"Auxin APICAL, Gibberellin GROW-TALL, Cytokinin CYTOKINESIS"
Hormone roles

3. Stress hormone → closes stomata, induces dormancy, antagonist of gibberellin.

Mnemonic Device
"ABA = Awfully Bad Atmosphere"
ABA

4. Ripening of climacteric fruit, senescence, abscission, female flowers in cucurbits, triple response.

Mnemonic Device
Ethylene = "Ripe & Rot"
Ethylene

5. Short-day plants flower when the dark period exceeds a critical length; LDP flower when nights are short.

Mnemonic Device
"SDP = long-NIGHT plant"
Photoperiodism

6. Differentiation (mature) → Dedifferentiation (divide again) → Redifferentiation (mature again).

Mnemonic Device
"DIFFERENT → DE → RE"
Differentiation
