| Substance that stimulate cell division and cause dormant seed to sprout. | cytokinin |
| Period during which an organism's growth and activity decreases or stops. | dormancy |
| When a high concentration of auxin is used to spray on other plants to inhibit plant growth. This acts as a | herbicide |

| response of plants to periods of light and darkness | photoperiodism |
| layer of cells at the petiole that seals off a leaf from the vascular system. | abscission layer |
| phenomenon in which the closer a bud is to the stem's tip the more its growth is inhibited. | apical dominance |
| compound that is toxic to plants | herbicide |
