Applications of Plant Hormones in Agriculture and Horticulture

The video discusses the applications of three types of plant hormones in agriculture and horticulture: auxins, gibberellins, and ethene. Auxins promote cell growth and are used in weed killers, rooting powders, and tissue cultures. Gibberellins induce germination, flowering, and fruit production, and are used to produce seedless fruits. Ethene is a gaseous hormone that accelerates fruit ripening, facilitating the transport of fruits like bananas.

What are auxins and how do they affect plant growth?

Describe how auxins are used in rooting powders.

Explain the role of gibberellins in seed germination and flowering.

What is the significance of gibberellins in the production of seedless fruits?

How does ethene influence the ripening of fruits?
