Hormone regulation in crops plays a critical role in enhancing growth, development, and stress tolerance. Plant hormones, such as auxins, gibberellins, and cytokinins, govern vital processes including germination, flowering, and fruit set. By understanding and manipulating these hormones, farmers can optimize crop yields, improve disease resistance, and control plant growth. For example, synthetic auxins can be used to induce root formation in cuttings, while gibberellins can increase the size and weight of fruits. Research into hormone regulation also holds potential for developing crops that better withstand environmental stress, such as drought or extreme temperatures.
