Plant hormones are of various types. The main function of plant hormones is to regulate the growth of plants. Auxin was the first hormone to be discovered.
The effects of hormones are so profound that through breeding and agrochemical approaches in the 20th century, they gave us high-yielding, nutritious and resilient crops. In the 21st century we look to plant hormones to help meet the increasing demand for food production under ever-more ...
Cytokinins are plant hormones that contribute to the regulation of a variety of developmental processes including apical dominance, flower and fruit development, leaf senescence, and seed germination. Numerous cytokinins have been characterized in different plant species. Differences among cytokinins are rela...
Learn about plant growth hormones. Identify where hormones are synthesized in plants, examine the five main plant hormones, and discover how these hormones are used. Related to this Question What is the function of sori? What is the function of synarthroses?
We analyzed the interaction between Arabidopsis and western flower thrips (Frankliniella occidentalis), which are one of the most serious insect pests of cultivated plants. We focused on the function of the immunity-related plant hormones jasmonate (JA), ethylene (ET) and salicylic acid (SA) in ...

As sessile organisms, plants evolved elaborate metabolic systems that produce a plethora of specialized metabolites as a means to survive challenging terrestrial environments. Decades of research have revealed the genetic and biochemical basis for a multitude of plant specialized metabolic pathways. Neverthel...
