Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Auxins function primarily in stem elongation by promoting cell growth. Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) is the major naturally occurring auxin and one of the major growth factors in plants. They were the first group of plant growth hormones discovered.
Detailed explanation-2: -Gibberellins stimulate cell elongation by altering the rheological properties of the cell wall; as a consequence, the water potential of the cell is lowered allowing for water uptake and therefore an increase in cell volume.
Detailed explanation-3: -The plant hormone gibberellin (GA) controls major aspects of plant growth such as germination, elongation growth, flower development, and flowering time.
