Chapter 24.4, Problem 3MC
Summary Introduction
To analyze:
The functions of five major plant hormones.
Introduction:
Auxin, cytokinin, gibberellin, ethylene, and abscisic acid are five crucial hormones that control plant development. These are crucial for plants because, unlike mammals, they do not possess a nervous system, thus hormones regulate their function.
