Multiple Choice Which of the following is not a function of auxins? A. promoting apical dominance B. promoting cell elongation in stems C. promoting the growth of lateral buds D. promoting the growth of new roots

Promoting the growth of lateral buds

Explanation:

Auxins promote stem elongation and inhibit growth of lateral buds(maintains apical dominance).They are produced in the stem,buds and root tips.Example: Indole Acetic Acid (IA). Auxin is a plant hormone produced in the stem tip that promotes cell elongation. Auxin moves to the darker side of the plant, causing the cells there to grow larger than corresponding cells on the lighter side of the plant. This produces a curving of the plant stem tip toward the light, a plant movement known as protoplasm.

Auxin also play a role in maintaining apical dominance and promoting growth of new roots
