  In animals, there are special glands secreting hormones, whereas there are no glands in plants. Where are plant hormones formed? How are the hormones translocated to the site of activity?

Answer:

                The phenomenon by which apical bud suppress the growth of lateral buds is known as apical dominance. It is caused due to release of plant hormone auxin from apical duds. It can be overcome either by the spray of cytokinin, that promotes the growth of lateral buds or by trimming of bushes which remove apical buds and allow lateral buds to grow.
