Plant hormone

Plant hormones are chemicals that coordinate growth. One of them, auxin, can become unevenly distributed across a growing shoot or root. The two sides then grow at different rates.

Plant hormones are chemical messengers that control and coordinate growth and development. They allow different cells in a plant organ to respond together to environmental information such as the direction of light or gravity.

Plant hormones are chemical messengers that help coordinate growth and development. Auxin is one example. It is produced mainly near growing tips and affects cells just behind them as they elongate.

Plants cannot walk to a better-lit or better-watered place, but they can adjust the direction in which they grow. They do this using plant hormones: chemical messengers that coordinate growth and development in different parts of the plant. This coordination helps roots grow into soil, while shoots and leaves are positioned where they are more likely to receive light.
