Plant Hormone Auxin Function on general plant biology
What's Happening
Auxin is the primary plant growth hormone that controls cell elongation, apical dominance, phototropism (growth toward light), gravitropism (response to gravity), and lateral root formation.
How to Fix It
- 1
Use auxin for rooting hormone when propagating cuttings
- 2
Prune to manipulate auxin distribution
- 3
Understand that etiolation (low light) increases auxin and causes leggy growth
How to Prevent It
Understand that pruning tip growth redirects auxin to lateral buds, causing bushier growth.
