Which hormones promote activity of each other?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Identify the Hormones**: The two hormones that promote each other's activity are Auxin and Cytokinin. 2. **Understanding Auxin**: Auxins are primarily involved in promoting root differentiation, cell division, cell elongation, and callus formation. They play a crucial role in the growth and development of plant roots. 3. **Understanding Cytokinin**: Cytokinins are hormones that induce cell division and differentiation. They are important for promoting shoot development and overall plant growth. 4. **Interaction of Auxin and Cytokinin**: - Auxins are produced in the root meristems and stimulate meristematic cell division. - Cytokinins facilitate the transition of cells from a meristematic state (undifferentiated) to a differentiated state (specialized). - The presence of both hormones in balanced intermediate levels is essential for optimal growth and development. 5. **Hormonal Ratios**: - A high ratio of cytokinin to auxin favors shoot production. - Conversely, a high ratio of auxin to cytokinin favors root production. 6. **Conclusion**: Auxin and Cytokinin work synergistically to promote various aspects of plant growth and development, with each hormone influencing the activity of the other. **Final Answer**: The hormones that promote the activity of each other are Auxin and Cytokinin. ---
