This review examines contemporary views of the role of plant hormones in the control of
physiological processes. Past and present difficulties with nomenclature encapsulate the …

In 1951, KV Thimann, in his capacity as President of the American Society of Plant
Physiologists, appointed a committee" to consider and propose a uniform nomenclature on …

This chapter is intended to provide an overview of the functions of the five major plant growth
hormones in the intact plant: auxin (IAA), gibberellins (GA), cytokinins (K), ethylene, and …

This book is based on a series of lectures delivered to graduate students at the University of
Massachusetts. It differs from other textbooks on plant hormones in that it attempts to follow …

A plant hormone is not, in the classic animal sense, a chemical synthesized in one organ,
transported to a second organ to exert a chemical action to control a physiological event …

The way in which a plant hormone influences growth and development depends on: 1) The
amount present: this is regulated by biosynthesis, degradation and conjugation. 2) The …

Plant hormones are a group of naturally occurring, organic substances which influence
physiological processes at low concentrations. The processes influenced consist mainly of …

Plant growth is regulated by developmental programmes that can be modified by
environmental cues acting through endogenous signaling molecules including plant …

The classical theory of the hormonal regulation of plant growth and development proposes
that the five classical types of plant hormones are responsible for the regulation of many …

4ll living organisms are complicated mechanisms, the parts of which must be well regulated
and integrated for optimum functioning. Even single cells must find ways to coordinate the …
