Summary Introduction

To review:

The hormones that are necessary to inhibit and promote the growth of the plants.

Introduction:

The hormone is a small molecule that regulates the metabolism, growth, and development of an organism. The plant's hormones are known as phytohormones that help in their growth and survival. Seed germination, blooming of flower, maturation from vegetative to reproductive phase, and senescence are regulated by different plant hormones. The senescence is a process in which the plant’s parts die off and give way to generate new parts like leaves and flowers. Plant hormones also respond to abiotic factors like light, touch, temperature, and pressure.
