Explanation by: Kirti

Plants do not have a nervous system like animals. Instead, they coordinate their functions through plant hormones (also called phytohormones). These hormones regulate growth, development, and responses to environmental stimuli.

Some key plant hormones include:

  • Auxins – Control cell elongation and phototropism.
  • Gibberellins – Promote stem elongation and seed germination.
  • Cytokinins – Promote cell division.
  • Abscisic Acid (ABA) – Helps in stress responses and stomatal closure.
  • Ethylene – Involved in fruit ripening.

Thus, hormones are responsible for coordination in plants.
