Plant hormones, including auxins, are produced in many different parts of the plant and are transported throughout the organism to produce various physiological effects. Therefore, the botanist must take into consideration the different developmental stages of the seedlings and sample from different parts of the plants in order to capture the entire range of auxin produced.
