Phytohormones Produced by Plants for Various Functions | Biology

The five most important chemicals or phytohormones that are produced by plants to facilitate various functions are as follows: 1. Auxins 2. Cytokinins 3. Gibberellins 4. Ethylene 5. Abscisic Acid. Phytohormone # 1. Auxins: Auxin, indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), was the first plant hormone identified. It is produced primarily in the shoot tips and in developing flowers and seeds. Its transport [...]

Bioassay of Phytohormones | Botany

In this article we ill discuss about the auxin and gibberellin bioassay of phytohormones. Auxin Bioassay of Phytohormones: Auxins are one of the major phytohormones essential for plant growth and development. Normally, in plants, auxins are synthesized in the growing apex and then transported to various regions for physiological activities. In plants, auxins are present in small quantities, thus chemical [...]
