<plantfyi-glossary slug="auxin"></plantfyi-glossary>Definition
A class of plant hormones, primarily indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), that regulate cell elongation, apical dominance, and root initiation. Auxin produced at shoot tips suppresses lateral bud growth and accumulates on the shaded side of stems, causing phototropic bending.
