Auxins promote cell development, which aids in stem elongation.
- Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) is the most abundant auxin in nature and one of the most important growth agents in plants.
- They were the very first plant growth hormones to be identified.
- Auxins have two functions in plants, depending on where they are produced.
- Apical buds generate compounds that stimulate root growth and development while inhibiting lateral bud growth, ensuring apical dominance.
- They also promote the formation of ethylene, cell division, and differentiation.
- Auxins have been used to root tissue culture and stem cuttings.
- As a result, they've found significant commercial application in nurseries and agriculture.
- In greenhouses, synthetic auxins have been used to enhance fruit growth and reduce preharvest fruit falling.
