Plant Hormones Quiz | Plant Physiology Quiz

A plant hormone or phytohormone is a chemical substance produced naturally in plants which is translocated to another region for regulating one or more physiological reactions when present in low concentration. All phytohormones are growth regulators but all growth regulators are not phytohormones. Phytohormones can be broadly divided into two groups based on their functions in a living plant body- growth promoters and growth inhibitors. Auxin, gibberellins and cytokinin are growth promoters and ethylene and abscisic acid (ABA) are growth inhibitors. Read more>>
