Plant Growth:
•Auxins - help vegetative propagation - stimulates root growth
•Gibberlins - shoot growth - used on cereals to produce shorter stems
- stimulate seed germnination
- root growth
- increase fruit size
•Ethane or Ethylene - stimulates the ripening of fruit
Animal growth:
•BST - increases milk yield in dairy cattle
- banned in many countries due to risks to human health
•Anabolic Steroid Hormones
- based on steroid sex hormones
- increases growth rate and gross growth efficiency
- if residues of the steroid remain in meat eaten by humans it could affect human growth
