Abstract

Storage processes — the role of plant hormonesThe role of plant hormones in the regulation of induction and development of fruits and vegetative storage organs and in the storage process is critically reviewed. Evidence is presented that growth and development of storage organs is regulated by a complex interaction of all known plant hormones. By changing the sink‐capacity the hormones influence the intensity and direction of the assimilate flow. Beyond this more indirect effect on the flow of assimilates few observations indicate a direct effect of hormones on the transport system.
