Coursework - Auxins and Root Growth Investigating the effect of changing the concentration of auxin on the formation of roots in willow shoots. Introduction Background: I have to find out the effect of changing the level of auxin concentration on the formation of willow shoots. This will include taking cuttings and planting them in compost and recording how much they grow. The cuttings will be fed on an auxin solution of a maximum of 0.001%. Shops, to reduce their costs of supplying plants to the public, commercially use this technique. Hypothesis: The higher level of concentration of the auxin solution, the higher the level of growth rate that will occur. Prediction: I think that the higher the concentration of the auxin, the more the plant cuttings will grow in a certain period of time because auxin is a plant hormone which controls how much the plant will grow and in which direction the plant will grow. I...
