Plant Hormones Location Specific Function

AUXIN stem, buds, and root tips promote stem elongation, inhibit growth of
lateral buds (maintains apical dominance).
Auxin also plays a role in maintaining apical
dominance.
GIBBERELLIN plant cell's plastids, or the regulate growth and influence various
double membrane-bound developmental processes, including stem
organelles responsible for elongation, germination, dormancy, flowering,
making food, sex expression, enzyme induction, and leaf and
fruit senescence.
CYTOKININ meristems at tip of the shoot. promote cell division in plant roots by
stimulating the process of mitosis and shoots
and the growth of buds.
ETYLENE Ripe fruits serves as a hormone in plants. It acts at trace
levels throughout the life of the plant by
stimulating or regulating the ripening of fruit,
the opening of flowers, and the abscission (or
shedding) of leaves.
ABSCISIC ACID Stomata promotes seed dormancy by inhibiting cell
growth. It is also involved in opening and
closing of stomata as leaves wilt.
