The Ecological Role of Plant Growth Substances

  • Chapter
Hormonal Regulation of Development III

Part of the book series: Encyclopedia of Plant Physiology ((PLANT,volume 11))

Abstract

An ecophysiologist might rephrase our title as a question: “In what ways do events in the life cycle of a plant that are influenced by growth substances contribute to the plant’s adaptation in a particular environment?” Adaptation means survival, and survival often means maintaining a favorable energy balance in the plant. So, what roles do growth substances play in survival (often, maintenance of a favorable energy balance) of plants in natural ecosystems?
