| Auxins | (Growth) affect the growth of plants by stimulating cell division and maturation |
| Gibberlins | (fruits) stimulates the development of fruits during germination |
| Cytokinins | (growth) stimulate cell division during seed germination |
| ethylene | (ripening of fruit) stimulates the ripening of fruit |
| Abscissic Acid | (released during fall) released in the 'fall' assists in the shedding of leaves and the slowing down of metabolic activities in preparation for the winter months.` |
| Tropism | growth of a plant in response to a stimulus |
| Positive tropism | growth toward the stimulus |
| Negative tropism | growth away from the stimulus |
| phototropism | plant growth in response to light |
| geotropism | plant growth in response to gravity (Grabitropism) |
| Thigmotropism | plant growth in response to touch |
| hydrotropism | plant growth in response to water |
| photoperiodism | the response of a plant to changes in the length of day. |
