The main auxin that plants produce is Indole-3-acetic acid. It plays a major role in the growth and development of plants. In humans, these... View Article
Abscisic acid (ABA) is different from auxin. Both are plant hormones. While auxins are growth promoters, Abscisic acid is a growth inhibitor.... View Article
Auxin is a plant hormone which is essential for regulating the growth of shoots. It is involved in the stem elongation process and is found in... View Article
Variations in the auxin concentration mediates growth as a result of gravitropism. Gravitropism is due to an unequal distribution of plant... View Article
Auxins have an impact on the growth of roots. Auxins facilitate the initiation of roots. These hormones induce both growth of root branching... View Article
The short answer to it is yes. Auxins are plant hormones involved in the stem elongation process. Light is known to destroy auxins. Plants... View Article
Seed dormancy is a vital step in plants' life cycle. The transition to germination from dormancy in seeds is a key process. The plant hormone ABA... View Article

There are three muscles involved in respiration from a functional aspect, they are rib cage, diaphragm and abdominal muscles. Each of this muscle... View Article
Seed germination requires energy. The closer the temperature is to the optimum temperature, the quicker is germination. Warmth is needed to... View Article
Light expels oxygen, decomposes the carbonic acid gas and fixes carbon, hence stiffening the seed parts hence preventing vegetation. In the... View Article
Auxin was one of the first major plant hormones to be discovered. The first persons associated with the discovery of auxins are Charles Darwin... View Article
In order for seeds to acquire the necessary energy to develop and grow, germinating seeds undergo cellular respiration. Seeds do not possess the... View Article
Germinating seeds have an enzyme known as amylase. The process of imbibition leads to plant growth stimulating the synthesis of amylase. As a... View Article
