Monocots tend to be the least sensitive to auxins compared to dicots, whether they are herbaceous or woody, because of differences in their vascular structures and growth patterns. Auxins are a class of plant hormones that play a crucial role in the regulation of plant growth and development, including cell elongation, bud growth, and root formation. Monocots, which include grasses and cereals, generally show less response to auxin treatments in terms of cell elongation and differentiation, which is attributed to their distinct anatomical and physiological features.
