Chemicals present in plants that enable them to undergo maturation, ripening and similar changes are known as phyto-hormones. They are analogous to hormones present in the human body.
Their main function is to ensure that the plant reaches different stages in its life cycle, at the right time. They do this through a mechanism of chemical receptors and signals. The signals given out by these phyto-hormones ensure that the fruit ripens and flowers bloom. It also attracts insects towards the flower in order to aid in reproduction.
