Pros of Plant Hormones

Plant hormones inhibits root growth, seed germination, stimulates fruit ripening and many more. With hormones, plants can start to grow faster and better. For example, auxin is applied in strawberries to produce seedless strawberries and prevent premature fruit drop. We have learnt about the plant's amazing ability to create and repair new cells. Imagine the great things we can do if we can harness this exceptional ability and apply it to the human anatomy. We can modify the hormone such that its effects can be quickly seen. So plant hormones are very useful and aids in our daily lives.
