plant hormones

• Plant hormones like auxins are essential for coordinating and controlling plant growth, responding to stimuli like light and gravity
• Auxins stimulate cells to grow more in shaded areas, causing shoots to bend towards light sources, and roots to bend downwards towards gravity
• Auxins are used in weed killers, rooting powders for cloning plants, and promoting growth in tissue culture
• Gibberellins are used in germination, fruit growth, and flowering, while ethene is used in the food industry to control ripening of fruits
