hormone-mediated concept of biocontrol. And this mechanism provides a basis to potentially develop novel, integrated plant protection strategies combining promotion of growth, a favourable ...

The scientists designed sensors for two plant hormones ... growth and as herbicides respectively. Current methods to detect NAA and 2,4-D cause damage to plants, and are unable to provide real-time in ...

Mr. MARK ESTELLE (Indiana University): It's hard to identify an aspect of plant growth and development which is not influenced by the hormones. So it has a really central role in growth.

Hormones promote growth within plants. Plant hormones are unequally distributed throughout the stems and roots, which results in parts of the plant growing in a particular direction. In this video ...

Hormone Clue To Root Growth Date: July 16, 2009 Source: University of Nottingham Summary: Plant roots provide the crops we eat with water, nutrients and anchorage. Understanding how roots grow and ...

Plant development is modulated by the well-known classic hormones, such as auxin, cytokinin and gibberellin, and by newly identified growth regulators, such as peptides, strigolactone and fatty ...

Auxins are plant growth regulators, i.e plant hormones. Further discussion revealed weeds near the tree had been sprayed with an auxin herbicide. The amount of herbicide absorbed by the tissue was ...
