Abstract
Auxin is mainly formed in young leaves and stem-tips, and is then transported to the roots, both in the phloem and by a special polar mechanism. Auxins play a major role in controlling the growth and development of plants, the early stages of embryogenesis, the organization of apical meristem and the branching of the plant’s aerial parts (apical dominance), formation of the main root, and lateral and adventitious root initiation. Cytokinesis are defined as compounds that have biological activities similar to those of trans-zeatin, while Kinetin is not a naturally occurring PGR, and it does not occur as a base in the DNA of any species. It is a by-product of the heat-induced degradation of the DNA, in which the deoxyribose sugar of adenosine is converted to a furfuryl ring and shifted from the 9 position of the adenosine ring. On the cellular level, the response to auxin includes a rapid initial cell-growth response that may involve auxin-induced changes in pH, calcium and gene expression.
