When I was in school, there were only five known plant hormones. I can only remember four: 1) florigen, which had been shown to exist through experiment, 2) kinetin, which also was only known through its effect, but was believed to consist of RNA fragments, 3) auxin, which was known through experiment and through discovery of synthetic auxins, and 4) FRH (fruit ripening hormone) which was the only hormone whose chemical structure was known (it is the 6-atom molecule ethylene). Can someone update me on plant hormones? How many are known to exist? If the list is short, please describe their name, chemical structure, and effects.
