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

Do plant hormones effect the fertilizing of vegetables?
Plant hormones play a role in various aspects of plant development, including flowering and fruit setting in vegetables. However, the direct effect of plant hormones on fertilization is limited as fertilization mainly depends on pollination and the transfer of pollen to the stigma of the flower.
What plant hormones might be used to enhance stem elongation and fruit growth?
Auxin is a plant hormone that can be used to enhance stem elongation, while gibberellins can stimulate fruit growth. These hormones can be applied through synthetic forms or through natural sources like foliar sprays to promote desired plant growth responses.
What is cytokinins used for?
Cytokinins are plant hormones that promote cell division and regulate growth and development in plants. They are commonly used in agriculture to stimulate plant growth, improve crop yield, and delay aging processes in harvested plants. Additionally, cytokinins are used in tissue culture techniques to promote the growth of plant tissue in vitro.
Auxins and giberellins are?
Auxins and gibberellins are plant hormones involved in regulating growth and development processes. Auxins are responsible for cell elongation, root formation, and apical dominance, while gibberellins promote stem elongation, seed germination, and flowering.
How do hormones travel to their targets in animal cells and in plant cells.?
In animal cells, hormones travel through the bloodstream, which acts as a transport system to carry hormones to their target cells. Hormones in plant cells, on the other hand, can travel through vascular tissues such as xylem and phloem, or they can move through the air as volatile compounds. Once hormones reach their target cells, they bind to specific receptors on the cell membrane or inside the cell, initiating a signaling cascade that leads to a physiological response.

How do plant hormones effect human health?
Plant hormones balances the hormones of humans. For example, soybean (Glycine max) affect the level of HDL, also affect the level of blood pressure and sex hormones estrogen due the phytoestrogen concentration of the plant.
What is the difference between plant hormones and animal hormones?
The plant hormones different parts of the plants in a different way while the animal hormones affect the target cells in more than one organ.
Do plant hormones effect the fertilizing of vegetables?
Plant hormones play a role in various aspects of plant development, including flowering and fruit setting in vegetables. However, the direct effect of plant hormones on fertilization is limited as fertilization mainly depends on pollination and the transfer of pollen to the stigma of the flower.
All plant tropisms are controlled by?
It is either one of these four. -Hormones -Chloroplasts -Carbohydrates -The Nervous System. I believe it is Hormones or Chloroplasts. My guess would have to go with Hormones Though.
How synthetic plant hormones are effective as weedkillers?
Plant hormones don't kill weeds. They are used for killing pests like aphids which absorb the hormone present in the phloem of the plant. These hormones are toxic for them and they die after consuming them.
