Auxins are that stimulate growth and elongation of plant tissues. The most important is .
Auxins have a number of other functions, including:
Growth and division of cells in the , , development of on and division of the , , and setting ...

This type of growth is referred to as apical growth and is stimulated by the growth hormone auxin. Apical refers to the top or apex of the tree and the ends of branches. Another group of growth regulators, cytokinins, do the opposite.

You remove the food and auxin along this pathway to the roots. The response by the roots will be to wall off those pathways. Simultaneously, you are removing the strong auxin signal that has been keeping the buds behind the terminal bud suppressed.

The cells are sensitive to a plant hormone called auxin that is produced by the leaf and other parts of the plant.

Leaves growing at the tip of a terminal bud, lateral buds or axillary buds produce a hormone called auxin. The young, developing leaves produce auxins while the mature leaves serve as storage centers.

Allows maximum growth on a branch, which increases its size or health due to an increased flow of auxin growth hormones to the growing tips.
