This blog is illustrated about the influence of plants harmones dealing with the roles of those harmones in the development of leaves, stems and seeds of the plants and fruits.

Plant Hormones -

  • A chemical substances of the plants.
  • Helps in the cellular activities of the plants.
  • This hormones are aslo called phytohormones.
  • The phytohormones are produced by the apical meristem of younger leaves.
  • Which helps to transport the vascular tissue phloem to the other organs of the plants.
  • Plants hormones are the natural organic substances that present in a very lesser amount only effect on the internal tissues of the plants.
  • Plant Hormones are classified as five phytohormones they are - Auxin, Gibberellin, Cytokinin, Ethylene & Abscisi Acid.

Key features of Auxin -

  • A weak organic acids causes the cell division of the plants.
  • Helps in growth of plants.
  • Also called as Growth Inhibitors
  • Acts as a controller of the plant roots.
  • Helps in controlling the leaves and fruit abscission.
  • Seedless fruits are produced by the act of this hormone.
  • This hormone used as weedcides and spread in the fields.
  • It basically found in the feilds of wheat and maize.
  • This harmone is applied on the flowers of plants without fertilization.
  • Due to more emphasis laid on the concentration of this hormone in some cases it may lead to decrease the natural growth of plants but enhanced the branches of roots.
  • This hormone is widely used in the production of tomato, apple and grapes.

Key facts of Gibberellin -

  • Basically this hormone is a weak organic acid and mostly formed at elevated part of the stem, column, new bron leaves and seeds of the plants.
  • Harmone is used in increasing the plant height.
  • It helps to blossom the flowers.
  • This harmone helps in development of the seeds.
  • Causes sprouting in the plants.
  • Helps to activate the process of cambium in wood plants.
  • The formation of seedless can be produced by the use of this hormone.

Key features of Cytokinin: 

  • This harmone work as a natural form by mixing with auxin chemical substances.
  • The primary role of this hormone is to activate the rate of cell division of the plants.
  • Helps to reduce the effect of buds.
  • And activate the buds of speeds & stems for substantial growth.
  • The mutation activity of the seeds are reduced by the use of this hormone.

Key features of Ethylene 

  • This is a natural gaseous harmone of the plants
  • Acts as growth controller of the plants.
  • Extensively used in fruit ripening.
  • Due to the help of this hormone numerous female harmones can be increased.
  • Promotes the growing activities in the stems of plants.
  • Helps in the embryonic development in male female.
  • Also helps to activate the abscissional activities of leaves, flowers and fruits.
  • Helps in the process and machanism of plant microbiome.

Key features of Abscisi Acid: 

  • This harmone helps to activate the vascular cambium during mitosis cell division.
  • Due to the presence of this hormone reduce the growth of stems.
  • Used in preventing the sprouting activities in the buds & seeds.
  • this harmone use to maintain the rate of evaporation in the stems of plants.
