Plant Hormones
Plant hormones are molecules produced by plant cells which act as chemical signals to control and regulate their development, growth and responses to environmental stimuli. They are essential for plant growth and development, influencing when and where flowers form, when fruits ripen, when seeds germinate and how roots interact with soil. Plant hormones play an important role in agriculture, where their use can increase crop yields, improve disease resistance and modify the quality of produce. They are also used in horticulture to control the size of plants and to encourage flowering.
