WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT ME MADE OF: Aromatic carbon ring Carboxyl group (--COOH) FUNCTION: Auxin is not evenly distributed in the plant, so it determines the shape of the plant. Auxin causes growth by loosening the cellulose in cell walls. Auxin helps repair wounds by regenerating lost tissues. Auxin stimulates root growth and development. Auxin encourages fruit growth and development. MISCELLANEOUS: The discovery of auxins was first published in 1937 in the book Phytohormones by Frits Went and Kenneth V. Thimann.
