Solution- Auxin is a plant hormone that is produced at the shoot’s tip. It aids the cell’s rapid growth. As a result, when a tendon comes into touch with support, auxin encourages the growth of the cells on the opposite side; this is how auxin promotes tendon growth around supports.
Auxin is a plant hormone that plays a critical function in plant development and growth. Auxins were first discovered in human urine.
Shoots, young leaves, and stems produce auxin in the apical meristem.
Effects of auxin:-
Auxins in the flowers encourage ovary maturity and, eventually, fruit development.
Root primordia emerge on cuttings after the introduction of a modest amount of auxins, and root production occurs.
Auxins influence gibberellins, which influence the length of the plant.
Background-The movement of auxin is unidirectional, it moves downward from its site of production. Auxin-specific transport protein in the plasma membrane controls the movement of auxin out the cell.
1.Auxin can be synthetic or natural.
Natural auxin -Indole -3- acetic acid, Indole butyric acid
Synthetic auxin–Naphthalene
