Apical dominance is the
through which high (over positive
range limit) auxin dueto
auxins from the bud moving
downward the inhibit the growth
of lateral buds of the . At the
beginning of stem development the
apical causes the plant
growth be longitudinal (upwards)
since growth of the lateral
remains inhibited. As the buds
become more distant the apex the
auxin in these buds
lowers shoots grow more easily.
growth of tree branches be
stimulated preventing the
dominance through the removal the
apicalbud.
