∙ 12y agocell ellongation is dependent on gibberellic acid and fruit development and fruit ripening is the same thing ryt?so i would say ethylene

Why are plant hormones used?
Growing cuttings. Cuttings develop much bigger root systems if they are dipped in hormone rooting powder or planted in rooting compound containing growth hormone - making it possible to clone plants quickly and cheaply. * Producing fruit without seeds. To do this, growth hormones are sprayed onto unpollinated flowers to make them grow fruit without fertilisation. * Ripening fruit. The plant hormone ethene is sprayed on fruits to make them ripen fast and all at the same time before harvesting. Bananas are harvested before they are ripe to reduce damage to them during transport, and then sprayed with ethene to ripen them. * Increasing the size of fruit. For example, grapes are sprayed with the hormone gibberellin to increase the size of the fruit. * Controlling weeds. Some synthetic weed killers which selectively kill unwanted plants contain growth substances that speed up the metabolism. As a result weeds like dock and dandelion grow so fast that their food and water supply cannot keep up, so they run out of energy and die

How does auxin function in plants?
It has several important roles. development of the embryo leaf formation phototropism gravitropism apical dominance fruit development abscission root initiation and development the shade-avoidance effectAuxin is produced in the plant tip, controls vertical growth in shoots, and lateral growth in roots. This is because as the plant grows, it needs more water and minerals. Auxin, as a result, will build up and cause lateral growth in the root system, which allows the plant to receive more nutrients. Auxin in the shoot tip is transported to the shady or dark side of the plant, causing that side to grow and therefore bend the plant towards the light or other stimulus.
Is Gibberellin is a plant growth hormone?
Yes; Gibberellins (GAs) are plant hormones that regulate growth and influence various developmental processes, including stem elongation, germination, dormancy, flowering, sex expression, enzyme induction, and leaf and fruit senescence. via wikipedia

How do seedless grapes be treated to make them enlarge?
Fruits with seeds produce hormones that cause fruit to enlarge. If you want seedless fruit to enlarge then you can treat it with the hormones (dip it in them).
What is the importance of plant hormones in fruit production?
Fruit size increased and there is lesser drops in flowers
What promotes fruit growth?
Auxins promote cytokinins, so they then work together to promote fruit growth while ethylene promotes fruit ripening.
What is the purpose of seeds in the fruit?
To propagate the further growth of that fruit
