As mentioned in previous articles, auxins are natural substances, derived from plant metabolism, which are produced with the aim of activating or inhibiting certain processes within the plant. The auxinic phytohormone par excellence is Indoleacetic Acid, which is derived from the amino acid tryptophan, through specific metabolic pathways. These routes are also shared by some …
Growth Regulators are substances that function in plant growth and are normally active at very low concentrations. Among these, we can differentiate those produced by the plant and those that are of synthetic origin. Those that the plant forms naturally are called phytohormones or plant hormones. Growth regulators are used for many purposes. They have …
