Control of Plant Growth

Auxin, a plant hormone, is crucial for various growth processes. It is produced in the stem tip and influences cell elongation, primary and secondary growth, flower and fruit development, and responses to gravity and light. Auxin also plays a role in apical dominance by inhibiting the growth of lower branches, allowing the main stem to grow vertically for optimal sunlight exposure.
