It discusses the synthesis, transport, perception, and signal transduction mechanisms of these hormones, highlighting their roles in coordinating plant growth, development, and stress responses.

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.
