Description: This site lists Plant Hormones and their characteristics and goes on to try to provide unifying 'reasons' for their effects. It is not part of current scientific thinking.
Socrates/Plato Civilization Cycle "Fools have no interest in understanding; they only want to air their own opinions." "Whatever exists has already been named..." Informally since 1986 and on the Web since 1996, I have written several fairly different versions of comprehensive speculations on the functions and behavior of plant hormones. This present page and it accompanying tables explains the commonly accepted plant hormones as each having major roles as indicators of plant nutrient abundance or deficiency. I see four classes of nutrients: the gases, minerals (root derived nutrition other than water), water and sugar. There are then two hormone groups assigned to each nutrient class, one is an indicator of abundance and one of scarcity. Building on this structure, I postulate that all four of the abundance hormones are needed for cell division, not just the commonly accepted auxin and cytokinin. Furthermore, I postulate that all four of the deficiency hormones are needed for cell senescence to be carried out.

| Page title: | Plant Hormone Theory |
| Keywords: | auxin, cytokinin, ethylene, jasmonate, jasmonic acid, IAA, plant hormone, plant growth regulators, abscisic acid, ABA, zeatin, ETH, GA, gibberellin, gibberellic acid, salicylic acid, SA, JA, brassinosteroid, BA, brassinolide, strigolactones |
| Description: | A simple 8 part speculative plant hormone theory is suggested where auxin, cytokinin, salicylic acid and jasmonic acid serve as growth signals indicating an abundance of oxygen, minerals, water and sugar respectively and ethylene, strigolactones, ABA and GA signal deficiencies and the need to use stores and pruning. |
