    Plant hormones (or plant growth regulators, or PGRs) are internally-secreted chemicals in plants that are used for regulating the plants' growth. According to a standard definition, plant hormones are signal molecules produced at specific locations, that occur in very low concentrations, and cause altered processes in target cells at other locations.

    Charactistics
      The concentration of hormones required for the plant response is very low(10-6 to 10-5M), comparing with the requirement of minerial and vitamin for plants.
      The synthesis of plant hormones is more diffuse and not always localized.
      Action at a distance is not a must for a plant hormone.
