Abstract
The analysis of plant hormones in the regulation of the life cycle of higher plants should include the following aspects:
-
1.
Isolation and chemical characterization of endogenous plant growth regulators responsible for the physiological phenomenon.
-
2.
Examination of higher plants at various stages of growth for any fluctuations in the levels of endogenous plant growth regulators.
-
3.
Investigation of not only the chemical but also the biochemical aspects of the biosynthetic and metabolic pathways of the endogenous plant growth regulators.
-
4.
Examination of the responses of various higher plants to endogenous plant growth regulators so that their physiological roles within the tissues or intact plants may be understood.
-
5.
Molecular and cell biological investigation of the mechanism of action of endogenous plant growth regulators.
