Summarize the effects of each of the six classes of plant hormones
What will be an ideal response?
Concepts to Consider: Auxins promote cell elongation, tropisms, apical dominance, and
fruit development; gibberellins promote stem elongation, flowering, and germination;
cytokinins promote mitosis and differentiation, delay senescence, and are involved in apical
dominance; ethylene aids in the ripening of fruits, promotes apical dominance,
thigmomorphogenesis, and leaf abscission; abscisic acid is an environmental stress hormone
that causes stomatal closing and prevents seed germination in undesirable conditions;
brassinosteroids affect many developmental processes such as cell division, cell elongation,
light-induced differentiation, vascular development, and seed germination.
