Plant Hormones
Plant hormones are a group of naturally Plant hormones are a group of naturally occurring, organic substances which occurring, organic substances which influence physiological processes at low influence physiological processes at low concentrations. concentrations.

Plant Growth Hormones
Ethylene
Gaseous hormone (CGaseous hormone (C22HH44) – moves by diffusion) – moves by diffusion Location:Location: Ethylene is synthesized by most tissues Ethylene is synthesized by most tissues
in response to stress. i.e. tissues undergoing in response to stress. i.e. tissues undergoing senescence or ripening e.g. fruit tissue; stem nodes; senescence or ripening e.g. fruit tissue; stem nodes; aging leaves and flowersaging leaves and flowers
Function:Function: fruit ripening; oppositional to auxin (leaf fruit ripening; oppositional to auxin (leaf abscission); promotes/inhibits: growth/development abscission); promotes/inhibits: growth/development of roots, leaves, and flowers; senescence of roots, leaves, and flowers; senescence
Ethylene – commercial use Acceleration and enhancement of uniform Acceleration and enhancement of uniform
fruit ripening and coloration. E.g. field fruit ripening and coloration. E.g. field tomatoes picked at a single time by tomatoes picked at a single time by machine, ripening green transported machine, ripening green transported bananasbananas
Promotion of female flower production in e.g. Promotion of female flower production in e.g. cucumber, squash, melon, so as to increase the cucumber, squash, melon, so as to increase the number of fruits produced per plant. number of fruits produced per plant.
