Heteroauxin

/ˌhɛtərəʊˈɔːksɪn/ noun

Definition

A plant hormone, also known as indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), that promotes cell elongation and growth in plants.

Etymology

From hetero- (different) + auxin (from Greek auxein, to grow/increase). The 'hetero' prefix refers to the fact that this was initially thought to be different from plant hormones found in one location, though it's now known to be identical to the primary natural auxin.

Kelly Says

Heteroauxin literally makes plants bend toward light and grow upward against gravity—without it, plants would just sprawl randomly. This single hormone launched the entire field of plant physiology when scientists finally understood how it works.
