Auxins are chemicals exist in plants to stimulate growth. When sunlight hits one side of the stem of a plant, the auxins move away and down from the sunlight. This causes the 'dark' side of the stem to grow faster than the 'lighted' side, which causes the stem to lean towards the source of the light.

How does the plant responds to Auxins?

Auxins promote cell elongation in plants, leading to increased growth rate. They also help in phototropism, gravitropism, and apical dominance. Additionally, auxins are involved in root development and lateral root formation.


Can auxins be produced naturally or can they be made in a laboratory?

Auxins can be produced naturally by plants to regulate growth and development. They can also be synthesized in a laboratory for agricultural purposes, such as promoting root growth in cuttings or controlling fruit ripening.
