The dynamic role of plant hormones in regulation of plant growth and
development revealed by its control of rates of metabolic processes and
various related enzymetic reactions at molecular and submolecular levels
is now weil established. During the course of last 35 years endless
development in agricultural biotechnology has provided immense
literature to understand hormone-regulated aspects of plant growth and
development; but plant physiologists all over the world are still
devoting themselves and will continue for an indifinite period to
disclose the mystries of this regulation. Volume I of this series has
already been published and has been accepted weil. This encouraged me to
edit aseries of volumes (I do not know the number) on this subject. In
the following pages various aspects of hormone-controlled physiological
processes Iike, Hormonal Control of pro tein synthesis in plants,
Auxin-induced elongation, Hormonal regulation of abnormal growth in
plants, Hormonal regulation of development in mosses, Some phenolics as
plant growth and morphogenesis regulators, Plant growth regulating
properties of sterol inhibiting fungicides, Hormonal regulation of sex
expression in plants, Water relation and plant growth regulators,
Hormonal regulation of root development under water stress, Gravity
perception and responses meehanism in graviresponding cereal grass
shoots, Hormonal regulation of leaf Growth senescence in relation to
stomatal movement, and Chloroindole auxins of pea and related species,
have been included.
