Question
Mention two important functions of Auxin.
Answer
The two important functions of Auxin
- Cell elongation: Auxins promote cell elongation in the elongation zone of the plant, particularly in stems, by loosening cell walls and allowing expansion.
- Apical dominance: Auxins play a role in apical dominance by suppressing the growth of lateral buds, allowing the main stem to grow taller and outcompete surrounding plants for sunlight.
