Auxin
Auxins is a powerful growth hormone produced naturally by plants which regulate growth, particularly by stimulating cell elongation in stems. The most important naturally occurring auxin is ß-indolylacetic acid (IAA), which is formed either from the amino acid tryptophan or from the breakdown of carbohydrates known as glycosides.
