These are the best known growthinhibiting hormones. They have the
opposite effect of auxins, gibberellins and
cytokinins and are particularly important
in regulation of plant function.
They help plants to tolerate adverse
conditions (drought, salinity, and low
temps) by promoting leaf drop, bud and
seed dormancy and increasing frost
resistance.
