Abstract
The way in which a plant hormone influences growth and development depends on: 1) The amount present: this is regulated by biosynthesis, degradation and conjugation. 2) The location of the hormone: this is affected by movement or transport. 3) The sensitivity (or responsiveness) of the tissue: this involves the presence of receptors and signal-transduction chain components. All of the above are active areas of current research that will be considered in this volume. Examples of each will be introduced below and some will be considered in more detail in later chapters.
