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 root formation | apical dominanace produced in shoot apical meristem |
| Cytokinins | cell division differentiation | produced in roots |
| Gibberellins (GA)* | stem & internode elongation seed germination | produced in apical portion of root & shoot |
| Ethylene* | abscission fruit ripening | produced in leaves, stems & young fruits |
| Abscisic Acid | supression of bud growth stomatal opening leaf senescence | mature leaves, fruits & root caps |
* horticultural/agricultural applications
