I understand that when the concentrations of auxin and and cytokinin are equal it results in an increase in the callus (or undifferentated tissue) size but I'm not sure exaclty why. If anyone could help that would be appreciated, its a stupid sac anyway :|.

Thanks :)

Cell differentiation requires an unbalanced concentration of cytokinins and auxins. If there are more auxins the cell will differentiate into root cells. If there are more cytokinins it will differentiate into shoot cells. If their concentration is equal then cell differentiation may not occur.

does vcaa want us to know different hormones involved in plants?
it seems like auxin is the only one you have to know?

and also..
anyone know why high concentration of auxin can inhibit cell growth in plants?
