Vernalin, Florigen, Caulines, Brassinosteroids & Morphactins

Vernalin
  • Plant hormone.  
  • This hormone is produced on Vernalization (Chilling treatment of plants) and hence the name 'Vernalin'.
  • Vernalin induces flowering in plants. 
Florigen
  • Flowering hormone.

  • Phyllocaline is mesophyll tissue forming hormones.
Morphactins
  •  Synthetic growth hormones

  • Chemically :9-hydroxy fluorine 9-carboxylic acid.
  • Generally they are growth inhibitors.
Brassinosteroids (Brassins)
  • Brassinosteroids are complex group of lipids synthesized from the sterol campesterol.
