    Study Notes

    Plant Hormones

    • Auxins: Promote cell growth, stem elongation, root development, and prevent leaf drop.

    • Gibberellins (GA): Increase stem growth, trigger flowering, and break dormancy.

    • Cytokinins: Stimulate cell division and slow down leaf aging.

    • Abscisic Acid (ABA): Inhibits other hormones and assists the plant's response to water loss.

    • Ethylene: Accelerates fruit ripening and leaf detachment.
