The 16 pages that link to Apical dominance, each with the reason it gives.

• AuxinRelated: Auxin from the shoot apex helps maintain this growth pattern.

• PruningRelated: Removing a shoot tip can release lateral buds and redirect growth.

• Plant morphologyRelated: It helps determine whether a shoot grows as one main axis or branches.

• Brassica oleraceaRelated: Differences in shoot growth help distinguish compact-headed and branching cultivated forms.

• BonsaiRelated: Managing apical dominance helps distribute vigor across the tree’s branches.

• MeristemRelated: Signals from the shoot apical meristem influence whether nearby buds grow.

• Leaf vegetableRelated: Removing shoot tips can alter branching and the production of harvestable leaves.

• CytokininRelated: Cytokinin can promote lateral bud growth and counteract this suppression.

• Plant growth regulatorRelated: Regulators can alter the balance of signals controlling branching.

• Shoot apical meristemRelated: The shoot apex influences whether dormant side buds develop into branches.

• TopiaryRelated: Removing shoot tips can encourage side growth that fills out a clipped shape.

• Node (botany)Related: It helps determine whether node buds remain dormant or grow into branches.

• Brussels sproutsRelated: The main stem's growth helps shape the timing and development of its lateral sprouts.

• Indole-3-acetic acidRelated: IAA exported from the shoot apex contributes to inhibiting lateral bud outgrowth.

• Basal shootRelated: Removing the main stem tip can release lower buds that produce basal shoots.

• Fruit tree physiologyRelated: It helps explain how shoot growth responds to pruning and training.
