Plant Growth Regulators
A hormone is a naturally produced chemical synthesized in one part of
the plant and then travels to another part where it effects growth and
development. There are five main groups:
Auxin or Indole Acetic Acid (IAA)
Gibberellin or Gibberellic Acid (GA)
Cytokinin (Ck)
Ethylene (C2H4)
Abscisic Acid (AbA)
Hormones discovered more recently include salicylic acid, jasmonates,
brassinolides, etc.
Plant growth regulators are man-made chemicals applied to plants to
produce a desired effect (some are chemically identical to hormones).
