hormone-regulation

6 articles

Hormone regulation in plants refers to the signaling networks governed by key phytohormones — including auxins, gibberellins, cytokinins, abscisic acid, and ethylene — that coordinate nearly every aspect of plant growth and development. These chemical messengers control processes ranging from seed germination and root architecture to flowering, fruit ripening, and stress responses. Understanding how plants synthesize, perceive, and transduce hormonal signals is central to improving crop yield, resilience, and quality.
