auxin
this results in a unequal growth rate and the shoot or root bending due to an uneven distribution of the hormone. The side in which there is more auxin in a shoot, there is a higher growth rate. The side with less auxin in a root has a slower growth

plant hormones
used to manages plant growth and produce better crops
