Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Plant hormones that promotes cell elongation is ____
A
abscisic acid
B
auxin
C
cytokinins
D
gibberellin
E
ethylene
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The plant hormone auxin is well known to stimulate cell elongation via increasing wall extensibility. Auxin participates in the regulation of cell wall properties by inducing wall loosening. Here, we review what is known on cell wall property regulation by auxin.

Detailed explanation-2: -The phytohormone auxin is a major regulator of plant growth and development. Many aspects of these processes depend on the multiple controls exerted by auxin on cell division and cell expansion.

Detailed explanation-3: -Auxin causes the elongation of stem and coleoptile cells by promoting wall loosening via cleavage of these bonds. This process may be coupled with the intercalation of new cell wall polymers.

Detailed explanation-4: -Auxins are a group of naturally occurring and artificially synthesised plant hormones. Gibberellins: Gibberellins are plant hormones that regulate stem elongation, germination, dormancy, flower development, flowering, and leaf fruit senescence.

Detailed explanation-5: -Auxins: the master growth regulator The term auxin is derived from the Greek word auxein, which means “to grow.” Auxins are the main hormones responsible for cell elongation in phototropism (movement in response to light) and gravitropism (movement in response to gravity).
