Summary Introduction
Concept introduction: Plant hormones or phytohormones are the chemical molecules produced by plant tissues in extremely low concentrations for regulating many cellular processes. These hormones are very essential for plants as they decide many different attributes necessary for their growth. The major characters determined by plant hormones are flowering, shedding of leaves, shoot and root elongation, ripening of fruits and abscission.
