Chapter 5 : Response in Plants
What will you learn in this chapter

Next, we will explore phytohormones, which are plant hormones that regulate plant growth and development. We will learn about different types of phytohormones, including auxin, gibberellin, cytokinin, abscisic acid, and ethylene. We will also discuss the functions of these hormones in plants. Lastly, we will study the application of phytohormones in agriculture. We will understand how these hormones are used to enhance plant growth, increase crop yield, and control fruit ripening. We will also conduct experiments to compare the effects of phytohormones on fruit ripening. By the end of this chapter, we will have a better understanding of how plants respond to their environment and the role of phytohormones in plant growth and development.
