About Forms and Functions of Plants

Plant nutrition and transport cover mineral uptake, photosynthesis, xylem movement of water and minerals, and phloem translocation of sugars. Plant growth regulators include auxins, gibberellins, cytokinins, abscisic acid and ethene, whose effects on cell division, elongation, dormancy, fruit ripening and tropic responses should not be confused with mineral nutrition.
