Plant Control / Hormones
Plant control, governed by a sophisticated network of hormones, orchestrates growth, development, and responses to environmental stimuli. These molecular messengers, synthesized within various plant tissues, regulate a multitude of processes, from seed germination to flowering and beyond. Understanding plant hormones unlocks insights into how organisms perceive and adapt to their surroundings, offering valuable applications in agriculture, horticulture, and environmental management. In this introduction, we embark on an exploration of plant control mechanisms, delving into the roles of key hormones such as auxins, gibberellins, cytokinins, abscisic acid, and ethylene, and their intricate interplay in shaping the life cycle of plants.
