This document summarizes several major plant hormones: auxins, gibberellins, cytokinins, ethylene, and abscisic acid. It describes their functions in plant growth and development processes like cell division, elongation, flowering, fruit development, senescence, and stress response. For example, it notes that auxins promote root formation and apical dominance, gibberellins stimulate seed germination and fruit growth, and cytokinins delay leaf senescence and promote cell division. The document also provides examples of how manipulating hormone levels through genetic modification or external application can influence crop yields and quality.
