Answer 2

Functions of plant hormones:

${ \red{ \bf{ Auxins: }}}$

${ \green{ \bf{ Site\: of \: Synthesis:}}}$

Synthesized primarily in shoot apical meristems and young leaves.

${ \green{ \bf{ Functions: }}}$

• Promote cell elongation.
• Suppress the growth of lateral buds.
• Delay fall of leaves.
• Induce formation of parthenocarpic fruits.

${ \red{ \bf{Gibberellins: }}}$

${ \green{ \bf{ Site\: of \: Synthesis:}}}$

Synthesized primarily in the meristems of apical buds and roots.

${ \green{ \bf{ Functions: }}}$

• Help in stem-elongation.
• Break dormancy of seeds and buds.
• Delay senescence.
• Induce parthenocarpy.

${ \red{ \bf{ Cytokinins: }}}$

${ \green{ \bf{ Site\: of \: Synthesis:}}}$

Synthesized primarily in roots and transported to other organs.

${ \green{ \bf{ Functions: }}}$

• Stimulate cell-division and cell enlargement.
• Prevent ageing of plant parts.
• Inhibit apical dominance.

${ \red{ \bf{ Ethylene:}}}$

${ \green{ \bf{ Site\: of \: Synthesis:}}}$

Synthesized in senescent leaves and flowers, germinating seeds and ripening fruits.

${ \green{ \bf{Functions: }}}$

• Induces fruit ripening.
• Promotes senescence.

${ \red{ \bf{ Abscisic \: acid: }}}$

${ \green{ \bf{ Site\: of \: Synthesis:}}}$

Synthesized in green fruits and seeds at the beginning of the wintering period.

${ \green{ \bf{ Functions: }}}$

• Induces dormancy of buds and seeds.
• Inhibits seed-germination and development.
• Stimulates closing of stomata.
