plant development
- plant cells are totipotent (ie. each cell is capable of producing an entire plant)
- auxin - rooting compound
- cytokinins - shooting/leaves
- gibberellins - elongation of cells
- hormones / growth regulators
| Hormone | Function | Location |
| Auxins (IAA)* | stem elongation | apical dominanace |
| root formation | produced in shoot | |
| apical meristem | ||
| Cytokinins | cell division | produced in roots |
| differentiation | ||
| Gibberellins (GA)* | stem & internode elongation | produced in apical portion of root & shoot |
| seed germination | ||
| Ethylene* | abscission fruit ripening | produced in leaves, stems & young fruits |
| Abscisic Acid | supression of bud growth | |
| stomatal opening | mature leaves, fruits & root caps | |
| leaf senescence |
