Auxins regulate processes like phototropism, gravitropism, and fruit development, enhancing horticultural practices. Additionally, it covers synthetic auxins like 2,4-D and 2,4,5-T, used as selective herbicides that affect broad-leaved plants while sparing grasses, though their mechanisms are not fully understood.
