Auxins are a group plant hormones with similar structure and effects, which perform many important functions in plants. The word comes from it Griekse word αυξειν (auxein), which means to grow.
When a plant is in the light, auxin accumulates in particular cells on the unexposed side of the plant, the shadow side. The accumulated auxin on the shadow side causes the cells on this same side to stretch faster. As a result, the shadow side grows stronger than the illuminated side of the stem and the plant bends towards the light: photosynthesis is therefore optimal. This process becomes phototropy . Cells respond differently to different concentrations of auxin. A lying stem will produce more auxin at the bottom than at the top, causing the bottom to grow faster than the top, causing a stem to straighten up. However, a carrot reacts the other way around. This effect is called geotropy. If the auxin-producing growth tip is cut from a plant, the axillary buds respond by sprouting (apical dominance).
Auxin and related substances as well cytokinins are an important component of cutting powder
