Question

Name the site of synthesis of phytohormones and discuss the role of any $2$ phytohormones.

Answer 1

Phytohormones are synthesised in the sites of active growth in plants, in plant meristematic tissue regions of stem, buds and nodes. Two phytohormones are auxins that promote cell elongation in plants and help initiate bud formation and root formation. Gibberellin is another plant hormone that is needed in the formation of fruits and seeds and it also helps initiate the germination of seeds.
