Plant Growth and Development mind map for NEET and Class 11
PDF is given at end of this page 👇👇 The Science of How Plants Grow As we’ve previously mentioned, plants grow according to three basic principles: photosynthesis, growth, and dormancy. These rules of nature are known as the science of how plants grow. When a plant reaches maturity, it produces its first leaves and develops its main stem. Once this happens, it’s called plant development. Plant hormones (or phytohormones) are signal molecules, produced within plants, that occur in extremely low concentrations. Plant hormones control all aspects of plant growth and development, from germination to flowering. We'll cover five major types of plant hormones: auxin, gibberellin, cytokinin, ethylene, and abscisic acid. These hormones can work together or independently to influence plant growth. Auxin is involved in cell growth and cell expansion, so it is produced primarily in parts of the plant that are actively growing like the stem. Gibberellin causes some similar effects in plants as...
