Plant Hormones Mind Map: Groups and Functions

Plant hormones are chemical messengers that control growth, development and responses to the environment. The main groups are auxins, gibberellins, cytokinins, abscisic acid and ethylene. Each group has distinct roles, and many act together, so a mind map helps show how they connect to growth, fruiting and stress responses.

  • Auxins: drive cell elongation and phototropism toward light
  • Gibberellins: promote stem elongation, seed germination and flowering
  • Cytokinins: stimulate cell division, often working with auxin
  • Abscisic acid: mediates dormancy and closes stomata under water stress
  • Ethylene: a gas that triggers fruit ripening and leaf abscission

Use this map to revise the hormone groups before an exam, then expand each branch with your own lecture notes. CogniGuide can generate a personalized plant hormone map from your material.

Plant Hormones Questions Answered

Common questions about plant hormones and building a map of them.

What are the five main plant hormones?

The five classic groups are auxins, gibberellins, cytokinins, abscisic acid and ethylene. Some textbooks also list brassinosteroids and jasmonates as additional plant hormone classes.

What does auxin do in plants?

Auxin promotes cell elongation and drives phototropism, the bending of shoots toward light. It is produced mainly in shoot tips and moves downward through the plant.

Which file types can I use to make a plant hormone map?

You can upload a PDF, Word (DOCX) or PowerPoint (PPTX) file, a text or Markdown file, or an image of your notes. You can also type the topic directly.

Can I turn my plant hormone map into a quiz?

Yes. CogniGuide can turn a map into a quiz to test your recall, and the same notes can become flashcards. The free plan includes 5 creations a week.
