What are the major plant hormones and what role do they play in a plants life cycle and morphology? 🌱💡

Auxins: Promote cell elongation, root initiation, and fruit development.

Cytokinins: Stimulate cell division, delay senescence, and influence shoot branching.

Gibberellins: Promote stem elongation, seed germination, and flowering.

Abscisic Acid (ABA): Acts as a growth inhibitor, involved in stress responses, seed dormancy, and stomatal closure.

Ethylene: A gaseous hormone that regulates fruit ripening, senescence, and abscission.

Brassinosteroids: Involved in cell division, stem elongation, and stress tolerance.

Jasmonates: Play a role in plant defense, stress responses, and seed germination.

Strigolactones: Influence root development, shoot branching, and communication with beneficial soil microbes.

Happy Growing!
